Instant Pot Thanksgiving Turkey

Instructions

Rinse turkey and remove giblets from the cavity. Pat the bird dry. Rub olive oil underneath the breast skin.

Sprinkle entire turkey with seasoned salt, paprika, and pepper. Fill the cavity of the turkey with the lime or lemon and half of the onion.

Pour chicken broth into the inner pot of the Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Place turkey into the pot, breast side up. Tuck remaining onion, rosemary, and thyme on top of and around the turkey.

If you are using an Instant Pot, secure the lid, ensuring the valve is turned to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook button and set the time to 30 minutes.If you are using a regular pressure cooker, secure the lid and bring to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 30 minutes.

When cooking is complete, let the pot sit and naturally release pressure for 20 minutes, then turn the valve to the Venting position or use quick release to release any remaining pressure.

Preheat oven broiler.

Remove lid, and, using tongs and a fork, carefully move the turkey from the pot to a broiling pan, breast side up.

Lightly pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Spread softened butter over the turkey and place it under the broiler, approximately 5 inches (12.5 cm) below the heat source.

Broil the turkey, watching carefully and rotating frequently, until the skin has turned a deep golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.

Let the turkey rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
