Turkey and Gravy – InstantPot

Advanced Plan
Serves 4-6

This is by far the best turkey and gravy I have ever made. The Instant Pot makes it so quick and simple. I am pretty sure I will be doing this for Thanksgiving.

1 4-5 pound bone-in, skin-on organic turkey breast
sea salt
black pepper
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped (Core Plan Only)
2 ribs celery
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 teaspoons dried sage
¼ cup dry white wine
1 ½ cups free range broth (chicken or beef)
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons arrowroot powder

Pat turkey breast dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Set InstantPot to sauté and add coconut oil. When heated, add the turkey breast skin side down and brown for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and add the veggies to the InstantPot. Sauté for about 5 minutes then add garlic and sauté for another minute or so. Pour in wine, broth, and sage and stir well (be sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.) Place the turkey breast, skin side up on top of the veggies. Use pressure cook setting and set for 35 minutes. When time is up, do a quick release and remove lid. Remove the turkey breast and slice. Pour the liquid/veggies into a Vitamix and blend until completely pureed. If desired, take out about ½ cup and add the arrowroot powder to make a paste then add to the gravy and stir to thicken.

Set InstantPot to sautee. Sauté the turkey in 2 tablespoons coconut oil until almost browned. Add in garlic and sautee until completely browned. Add in the quinoa and taco seasoning and mix well. Add in the salsa and stock and beans/corn if desired. Stir well and set on pressure cook for 2 minutes. When the time is up, unplug the InstantPot and let pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release. Fluff with a fork and enjoy. Top with desired toppings.
