If I knew it was going to be this easy… I would have already made this in the Instant Pot before now! Below you will see the 4.5 lb turkey I purchased. It was incredibly easy to make. You just need a few seasonings to make a rub and you’ll have a juicy turkey ready in no time!
To make the rub, I combined the following ingredients:
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
I mixed these in a small bowl and rubbed them all over the turkey.
How to pressure cook the turkey:
Add in a cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place the turkey on the trivet and put inside the Instant Pot. Pressure cook your turkey using the following guide. Always use a meat thermometer to make sure your turkey is done.
Remove turkey from the Instant Pot and place on baking sheet. Place under oven broiler for a few minutes to crisp up skin, if desired.
