SEMI-ROASTED & PRESSURE COOKED THANKSGIVING TURKEY
SERVES 6
Prep the turkey to your desired preference to roast it in the oven or, you can try this
simple Herb Butter Recipe for a whole 12lb turkey. The butter will help the turkey
brown quicker in the oven. Make sure the turkey is placed inside a roasting pan.
Preheat your oven to 450F.
HERB BUTTER INGREDIENTS
1 Cup Butter (room temperature) 1/2 Tsp Pepper
1 Tsp Garlic Powder 1 Tsp Dried Basil
1/2 Tsp Salt 1 Tsp Dried Rosemary
1/2 Tsp Lawry s Seasoning Salt 1 Tsp Dried Parsley
Mix all ingredients with the butter so it becomes a thick paste. Melt it in the
microwave for about 15-seconds if the butter is too firm. Using a brush, spread the
herb butter over the turkey. Get under the skin, onto bottom and inside cavity.
OVEN ROASTING TURKEY INGREDIENTS
1/2 Half Large Yellow Onion 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 Sprigs Fresh Sage 4 Whole Garlic Cloves
2 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary
Chop the onion into quarters and stuff into cavity of turkey. Leave herbs whole and
also stuff into cavity. Put turkey into oven and roast for 30-minutes or until the skin is
nice and golden brown.
Once that s done, take it out of oven and set aside to cool down slightly. If you have
an electric knife, this is the time you ll need it. Keep the legs/drumsticks, wings and
even the breast whole when you carve them off. Remove as much of the turkey meat
as you can.
PRESSURE COOKING TURKEY INGREDIENTS
1/2 to 1 Can Chicken Stock
1/2 Large Yellow Onion
Plus:
The onions and fresh herbs from turkey cavity
Turkey Juices from the roasting pan
Any leftover herb butter
Place all pieces into the pressure cooker pot. Use other half of remaining onion you
chopped earlier and put it into pot. Remove the onions and the herbs from the cavity
and place in pot and pour any of the juices from the roasting pan in as well as any
remaining herb butter from earlier.
Pour in one can of Chicken Stock. The turkey itself releases a lot of liquid, so don t
overfill. You don t need to immerse the entire turkey into liquid.
Shut the lid and turn to lock it into place. Adjust the pressure valve on top to Airtight.
Program the pressure cooker to cook for 45-minutes.
Turkey that is cooked in the pressure cooker does not necessarily come out of it
looking very pretty . It may take some gentle-loving skill to remove it later without
it all falling apart.
