Watching this video brings me great comfort, especially now, amidst all the craziness in our nation and world. This Thanksgiving, it might just be my wife, our daughter, and me at the table, but I know that if I follow this recipe, we will be in such food Heaven that it won't matter that we couldn't be in a big family group 🍗🦃😂. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!
My heart was sucked into my knees when that water hit the floor! For brining my turkey, I purchased a plastic bin. It is only used to brine my Thanksgiving turkey. I have to clear a lot of stuff out of my fridge, but it holds a 12 lb turkey and all the brining liquid no problem, no spills--just HEAVY. Also, just a tip, you don't have to heat an entire gallon of water to dissolve your brining spices. I usually heat about 4 cups of water and then pop everything into the water. Once the salt is dissolved, I let it simmer for a few minutes and then pour it into some iced water. Cools it down a lot faster that way and I don't have to wait as long to get on with my meal prep.
Looks yummy! This weekend I may try it! I have never used brine. I usually just pop it in the oven in the big bag after seasoning it and covering it with slices of butter. Then I make Stove Top stuffing and add mushrooms to it.
@@caridadeno5777 That's the whole point of the brine. The salt gets absorbed into the turkey, salt attracts water, so it makes the turkey flesh pull in the water. You would think the turkey would come out all salty after you cook it, but it doesn't. Things come out tender, moist and very flavorful.
This whole stuffed turkey was my first attempt at using my new Instant Pot for my Thanksgiving family dinner. Jeffrey walked me through it so easily. Results? Perfect meal. Thanks!
After several turkey trials in the instant pot, I think Im getting this dialed. I brined it before. That's a great start! I had a 9lb turkey... first I dried it off really good with a towel, shoved a whole stick of butter pats under the skin, rubbed with cajun seasoning and olive oil, poured IPA beer, pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce in the bottom below the wire rack keeping the meat above the liquid. Cooked for 6min/lb 15 minute rest, then put it in the oven for 5 min under the broiler which crisped that skin up to perfection. I just put the metal instant pot in the oven... was no problem.
Pro tip for mixing cornstarch and water, put the water and cornstarch in a small jar and shake it to mix the two together. This way you do not get the cornstarch lumps. It really speeds up the mixing process.
I think this was your most chaimish video to date. I never thought about doing a turkey, but I love the idea of instantpot for the stuffing. As an MD, I'm terrified of stuffing a turkey, then roasting it in the oven, and hoping to actually live to see December. The quick time of cooking also opens up "Thanksgiving" turkey to the whole year, without the mobs or the twenty pounds that leads to months of heartburn, much less lost freezer space. Great idea, other than having to buy a new, 8qt IP. Final word to the world, nothing, absolutely nothing beats a BRINED turkey! I think 12 hours is too short a time, that would be fine for a chicken. My brother and I have experimented with a 2 day brine, he prefers it, I didn't see any improvement in the flavor compared to a 1 day brining, and the bird was a bit salty. All in all, yet again, I'm filled with inspiration. Oh, I love your mom's accent! Just when I thought my wife's Brooklyn couldn't get any stronger, your mom sounds like all of my New York relatives... Ah, holidays.
I would have used a wand whisk and mixed in the cooked veggies as well to make the Gravy and whilst the Turkey was finished off in the oven cooked some fresh veggies and potatoes. Here in the U.K our equivalent is our Christmas Dinner, Turkey with all the trimmings and the main reason we oven roast ours is because that includes Roast Parsnips and Potatoes which are Par Boiled the cooked in the Roasting tray for and hour with the Turkey (I also like to oven roast whole Onions)
Honestly i normally fast forward mostly all the cooking videos, but yours keep me interested throughout. You get right to the point, and you make it fun. Great humor, and your mom is awesome! You and your mom are 2 of a kind, and alot of fun.
Perfect! I have a almost 12 pound turkey breast bone in wishing I could put it in my 8 quart Instant pot but I don’t think it’s gonna fit. So I’m going to roast it in a cooking bag in the oven which should make it moist too. This looks so so good. The only thing I would change is I would strain the turkey drippings from the pot before making the gravy. I like a smooth gravy not chunky. Thanks for sharing.
Loved the video it's was both entertaining and informative. That brine was I believe the key. I have an eight quart machine and will mimic this recipe for the holiday festivities. I enjoy all the videos! Keep those cameras rolling.
I just love your videos. So helpful!!! I'm a new instant pot owner the last month or so! You have made this purchase so much more exciting!! Keep up the great work!!! Thank you!!
I have my 6qt instant pot love it, I love your two books, you explain each and every recipe and make me understand each buttons, You gave me confidence, and love your sense of humor.
this was the first pressure luck vid i ever watched its adorable cause hes at his parents house. i watched a bunch of his and six sisters before i decided i really wanted this appliance. i got one for christmas LAST year and use it 3-4 times a week im getting the duo crisp for dinner, so ittle be making whole chickens all the time im sooooo excited. jeffery is the best for making it easy!!
We do the stuffing on the side. I use a wine cooler in the cavity. Then I take an orange and rub the outside and toss the oranges into the cavity. So good.
I’ll bet your mom is sooo proud of you! Beautiful turkey, Beautiful Person, beautiful home! God has truly blessed you!! Thank you I am not good at cooking turkeys, but am definitely going to try this!
this is most amazing video have EVER seen turkey in the instant pot make it look so easy that is how will do mine for our canadian thanksgiving nice to see and hear such a positive attitude and wonderful turkey thank you from ONTARIO CANADA
I take about 2 tablespoons of italian seasoning, 1 of powdered onion, garlic and salt and pepper mince real fine in coffee grinder.take about 2 or three sticks of butter mix together.using a basting brush and basting needle brush and get under and into flesh of meat.basting every so often.I also break the back and breastbone.cooking it upside down makes it so tender it melts in your mouth.I'm 75 so been doing it this way for a long time.
THANK YOU so much for this recipe! I was so excited to find this video and even more excited about the results! This came out AMAZING! Not even a tiny bit of dryness throughout your bite of this turkey.....juicy and flavorful from the start of the bite to the finish and swallow. We just finished up thanksgiving dinner and I ran to my computer to post this. TRY IT PEOPLE.
The family at the end - toooo muchxoxox!! I made a turkey breast in my instant pot last year - finished in the oven - bestest, moistest evah!! Thanks for the great vid!! Happy Happy Gobble Gobble!!
Jeff, I just stumbled across your videos while on TH-cam. Great job young man! I have been debating on whether to purchase an Instant Pot. Like I really need another kitchen appliance. Most of them end up in storage, other than my crockpot, food processor, and Kitchenaid mixer. But you sold me on the Instant Pot! It would be great for those times I want to make a meal but am short on time.. I am convinced I would use this appliance often. Thanks Jeff!
I bought a insta pot last year and this year my son got me the insta pot electric pressure cooker air fryer lid love it makes a awesome rotisserie chicken hamburger French fries onion rings one thing now dont have to put whatever I'm browning in the oven after pressure cooking
I really enjoy your recipes and will try this when turkeys are on sale and I have friends over. However, Thanksgiving requires a bivger bird in my household so not very feasible using the Instant Pot. My comment is regarding the directions for the turkey brine and stuufing. I don't recommend putting warm brine in the fridge as it will raise the inside temp and possibly affect the contents of other items in the fridge. My solution is to make the brine while the turkey is thawing in the fridge. This way you can be sure that the brine has cooled enough before putting it in a freezer ziplock bag and storing it in the fridge. Also I suggest that you make the stuffing while the turkey is thawing and then storing in the fridge once it's cooled down completely. It's never a good idea to stuff the turkey with hot stuffing. Otherwise, I will definitely try a turkey and trimmings in the IP. Thanks
You could also just make 2 turkeys in the IP, one after another, since its relatively quick and more moist. By the time the first one was eaten, the 2nd would be ready to go.
To brine on your own, 1 cup pf sugar and 1 cup of kosher salt per gallon of water used. I also add some orange juice concentrate and various spices. Adding poultry spices and then sage, thyme etc is somewhat redundant, since that's what poultry seasoning mostly is. I really don't see the point of brining in a bag if everything goes in a stock pot anyway, other than preventing sloshing. I've been brining turkeys and briskets for over 20 years and I always use a 5 gallon stock pot even for turkeys over 20 pounds. Just weight the turkey down with a heavy plate so it is completely surrounded by the brine. Briskets go in stainless steel food service trays. Usually it's cold is much of the US in late November, and if you're lucky enough, you can brine outside without using up fridge space, but if you don't have enough space in your fridge to brine for a day or two, then putting the bag in a good medium sized COOLER and then adding ice on top will do the trick. And instead of thickening with corn starch or a flour roux, take the drippings with the vegetables and put them in a blender. Then add corn or flour thickener if needed. I'm not sure what the Better Than Gravy is there for. Oh, and the best way to cut turkey breast (there are videos, of course!) is to take a really sharp knife (which you'll need anyway for such tender and juicy meat) and cut the entire breast off the bone starting at the keel and alongs the ribs, 30 minutes after the bird has finished cooking to rest it, and then cut across it horizontally ACROSS the grain of the breast. Then each diner will be treated to visually appealing medallions of white meat, rather than unsightly shreds like pulled pork.
I didn't see any roast potatoes. I am from England UK and we have roast potatoes with all our meats, as well as Yorkshire pudding. Some have a combination of roast boiled and mash, although for me that is a bit much. I am still a learning as I have only just got my 8 qrt instant pot duo a month ago. I have been waiting a long time to get one, as we did not have them over hear and the postage and tax to order from the US was too expensive. Then recently I saw them come up and was able to get mine. I love it and it has really changed my life. It is Christmas day today and we are having a Turkey Crown. So I have been watching this video to get an idea how to cook it. Yours looks lovely. Have a Happy Christmas and a healthy prosperous New Year. God bless.
This is my third year coming back to this video for my thanksgiving. Has been perfect the last two years. My only struggle is finding a whole turkey under 10 pounds
You can stuff the turkey full if you're using a high pressure cooker in an oven at 350 for 6 hours is a little bit different but also I like the comment about the butter on the skin before the oven versus the paint
I can’t thank you enough for this recipe! I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner and it was a huge hit!! I have yet to find a recipe of yours that we don’t love!
For all of you complaining about washing his hands. You can tell he edit this video, he may have washed between the clips. He didn't truly record this start to end.
Rather than Gravy Master. I would brush the turkey with butter. margarine, or olive oil. It will still get a golden brown with great flavor on the skin. Turkey meat looks great! 😊♥️
I'm trying a 9lb turkey right now. I hope it's moist and delicious. I didn't fo this brine. I did butter and spices shoved between the skin and meat. No stuffing.
Me too. When I’m feeling down, I just go to Jeffery, watch one of his recipes and cook with him. He. Is so me,....a New Yorker. It’s awesome, I love him.
pheotonia Jeffery is first six sisters second. Although I can’t keep track of what sister is giving us the recipe. They are look the same. they are great though.
Love you! Thank you for all your instructional recipe videos. Just received my first Instant Pot, can’t wait to do Thxgiving dinner with it. Sending 💕 to you and family
Great job Jeff.You belong on the The Food Network or Cooking Channel.Really enjoy your recipes for the Instant Pot with your own spin on technique.very genuine !
I brine my turkey inside an insulated camp cooling chest. It will never leak or spill like bags. Make sure to dump a massive amount of ice in with the turkey brine so it can stay cool overnight. An 7 to 10 lb turkey with brine and 2 lbs of ice and ice water will stay cool easily for 12 hours while sitting outside of the fridge. It's also safer to dispose of the brine out of the chest than a bag. Clean out your camp chest with soap and water and disinfect with isopropyle alcohol or Dettol antiseptic since it was holding raw meat.
Just found your channel on TH-cam. I’ve used pressure cookers for years but never tried cooking a turkey. Now that I will have an 8 qt Ultra IP, I will definitely give this a try. You are great in front of the camera and I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
One huge fridge. Once you brine you never go back. Id go with a zip lock bag - ordered from William Sonoma - rinse for about 15 minutes. Smart to shorten timing so it doesn’t fall a part. Your channel is truly the best. Im spatchcock my turkey this year. In oven.only takes about 1 1/2 hours. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
I have never brined a turkey before. But I often see a lot of friends (American friends actually) mention it. I'm going to have to try this, and now to go on the hunt for the brine mixture or google the heck out of it for a "recipe". Your dinner looked fabulous Jeffrey! I only ever do that size of bird for our small family, so maybe I'll give it a go! I make all my sides in the IP the day before so they only need to warm up in the oven while the turkey is sitting after coming out of the oven....this could still work.
OMG! We had the same platter from the 60’s when I was growing up!😂😂. This turkey looks soooo good! There is just 2 of us, so I’m going to try this method with a large chicken.
Hi Jeff, I finally was able to purchase an 8 qt ultra. I have been watching you since last year. I have to say you totally sold me when I saw you make that 9 pound turkey. That was when I knew I had to have this Instant pot. I can't wait get it and finally try out some of your delicious recipes. Thank you Keisha
I almost cried when I watched this. My grandmother used to stuff her turkey the same way. I loved to eat cold stuffing out of the leftover turkey in the fridge - I think these days they say that will kill you. This all looked so homey; not the perfect stuffing from a box or Martha Stewart. I'm vegetarian now and just eat the side dishes, but this video, with the gravy and the turkey platter - how utterly charming and nostalgia-inducing. It makes me miss those old family meals at my Nana's.
My Mom used to stuff the turkey, but I haven't only because of cooking it in the oven, the blood drip's into the stuffing, BUT I must say I have changed my mind, only because of the way the turkey is placed neck down, that way the blood goes down into the pan, but I would have cut most of the neck that was left on and the ,excuse me, ass of the turkey off, it probably would have fit better, I cringed when I saw how overstuffed the IP was, but it turned out good, will be doing this for Thanksgiving, saves time and I have the 8qt IP,
I brine my turkey every year in a stock pot so when you showed the bag opening in the lasagna pan and brine going everywhere I think my beverage came out my nose!
I know it's 2020 right now and a little late for this, but you crack me up!!! LOL, and I can't stop! Well, he was drinking wine, too. I saw his glass half empty across the room on the table! Ooops!
Thanks for including your mistakes. Too many people edit everything to appear perfect. The mistakes are just as important if not more important than the successes. Respect.
I am definitely going to try this. If you have a daughter or other who has an insta pot cook, borrow their’s . Then if you need to feed more people you’d have 18 lbs. Thanks!
Jeffrey, you are amazing! I love this video. I've never cooked a turkey before. I'm bookmarking this. This Thanksgiving, watch out! Thank you so much !!

This means so much.
My mother in law complimented me on my cooking for the first time when I made this for thanks giving. Thank you !

Did you notice how much salt is in that brine?????
Brilliant! Wondered why he couldn’t put ice in it BEFORE he puts it in the fridge to cool it quicker, first.
@@caridadeno5777 That's the whole point of the brine. The salt gets absorbed into the turkey, salt attracts water, so it makes the turkey flesh pull in the water. You would think the turkey would come out all salty after you cook it, but it doesn't. Things come out tender, moist and very flavorful.
Mia where did you buy the plastic bin?

After several turkey trials in the instant pot, I think Im getting this dialed. I brined it before. That's a great start! I had a 9lb turkey... first I dried it off really good with a towel, shoved a whole stick of butter pats under the skin, rubbed with cajun seasoning and olive oil, poured IPA beer, pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce in the bottom below the wire rack keeping the meat above the liquid.

Will have to try. Thanks!
Pro tip for mixing cornstarch and water, put the water and cornstarch in a small jar and shake it to mix the two together. This way you do not get the cornstarch lumps. It really speeds up the mixing process.
My whole family loved this! I made it for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful!
In Maine we set the brine outside to cool and hope it doesn't freeze.
Haha
Ron G Lol!!
And in Michigan we use a 5 gallon bucket... not a bag! Slap on a lid and set it in the garage overnight!

I thought the same thing ;-)

Great tip on how to 'brown' the turkey Jeff! I made a 9lb turkey breast in my IP8 a couple weeks ago and it turned out very tender and moist also!
I'm trying a 9lb turkey right now. I hope it's moist and delicious. I didn't fo this brine. I did butter and spices shoved between the skin and meat. No stuffing.
Hey Jeff! You should consider redoing this recipe with IP air fryer so we don’t have to transfer to the oven. Great stuff!
I watch jeffery so much its like he lives in my house,hes the best
Yes,I watch him /his videos more than anybodies!
It's a toss up for me how much I watch between him and the Six Sisters!
Me too. When I’m feeling down, I just go to Jeffery, watch one of his recipes and cook with him. He. Is so me,....a New Yorker. It’s awesome, I love him.
pheotonia Jeffery is first six sisters second. Although I can’t keep track of what sister is giving us the recipe. They are look the same. they are great though.
agreed.
Love you! Thank you for all your instructional recipe videos. Just received my first Instant Pot, can’t wait to do Thxgiving dinner with it. Sending 💕 to you and family
Great job Jeff.You belong on the The Food Network or Cooking Channel.Really enjoy your recipes for the Instant Pot with your own spin on technique.very genuine !
This is making me hungry for Thanksgiving Dinner in April 2019 lol yummy!
I brine my turkey inside an insulated camp cooling chest. It will never leak or spill like bags. Make sure to dump a massive amount of ice in with the turkey brine so it can stay cool overnight. An 7 to 10 lb turkey with brine and 2 lbs of ice and ice water will stay cool easily for 12 hours while sitting outside of the fridge. It's also safer to dispose of the brine out of the chest than a bag. Clean out your camp chest with soap and water and disinfect with isopropyle alcohol or Dettol antiseptic since it was holding raw meat.
Great video , I was drooling when the turkey came out.
I think that is the best way to cook your turkey , , I am going to use my pressure cooker, thank
Just found your channel on TH-cam. I’ve used pressure cookers for years but never tried cooking a turkey. Now that I will have an 8 qt Ultra IP, I will definitely give this a try. You are great in front of the camera and I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Love all your videos! Can’t wait to try the recipe!
Your mom is so pretty. I'm going to try this. Your meatloaf came out awesome.
Cant wait for the Duo Crisp version.
Jeff, I have used your videos so often that it's time for me to stop and offer a sincere "Thank You".
One huge fridge. Once you brine you never go back. Id go with a zip lock bag - ordered from William Sonoma - rinse for about 15 minutes. Smart to shorten timing so it doesn’t fall a part. Your channel is truly the best.
Im spatchcock my turkey this year. In oven.only takes about 1 1/2 hours.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Happy Thanksgiving from CANADA you are amazing I love your videos I love your family🇨🇦🦃🇺🇸
You’re awesome. Beautiful family.
I have never brined a turkey before. But I often see a lot of friends (American friends actually) mention it. I'm going to have to try this, and now to go on the hunt for the brine mixture or google the heck out of it for a "recipe". Your dinner looked fabulous Jeffrey! I only ever do that size of bird for our small family, so maybe I'll give it a go! I make all my sides in the IP the day before so they only need to warm up in the oven while the turkey is sitting after coming out of the oven....this could still work.
OMG! We had the same platter from the 60’s when I was growing up!😂😂. This turkey looks soooo good! There is just 2 of us, so I’m going to try this method with a large chicken.
Hi Jeff, I finally was able to purchase an 8 qt ultra. I have been watching you since last year. I have to say you totally sold me when I saw you make that 9 pound turkey. That was when I knew I had to have this Instant pot. I can't wait get it and finally try out some of your delicious recipes. Thank you Keisha
Here I am again this year following your delicious recepie! Happy Thanksgiving!
I am gonna give it a try!! Love you!!! ordered your cookbook - will follow you forever!
Bravo, Jeffrey. well done. found u just in time. thanx.
I almost cried when I watched this. My grandmother used to stuff her turkey the same way. I loved to eat cold stuffing out of the leftover turkey in the fridge - I think these days they say that will kill you. This all looked so homey; not the perfect stuffing from a box or Martha Stewart. I'm vegetarian now and just eat the side dishes, but this video, with the gravy and the turkey platter - how utterly charming and nostalgia-inducing. It makes me miss those old family meals at my Nana's.
My Mom used to stuff the turkey, but I haven't only because of cooking it in the oven, the blood drip's into the stuffing, BUT I must say I have changed my mind, only because of the way the turkey is placed neck down, that way the blood goes down into the pan, but I would have cut most of the neck that was left on and the ,excuse me, ass of the turkey off, it probably would have fit better, I cringed when I saw how overstuffed the IP was, but it turned out good, will be doing this for Thanksgiving, saves time and I have the 8qt IP,
What a fun video. I love watching you.
Getting ready for THANKSGIVING in August!
I brine my turkey every year in a stock pot so when you showed the bag opening in the lasagna pan and brine going everywhere I think my beverage came out my nose!
I have literal tears running down my face from laughter at your comment, KTO lmaoooo so funny.
I know it's 2020 right now and a little late for this, but you crack me up!!! LOL, and I can't stop!
Well, he was drinking wine, too. I saw his glass half empty across the room on the table! Ooops!
You need to bring Mom back for a guest appearance because she is so expressive in the tasting portion. And the camera loves her!
Thank you for Another great video, this makes me so excited for thanksgiving!
Omg! You are the master! Looks great! Happy Thanksgiving Jeff to you and all your family! Love your videos and recipes! You make cooking so fun!
Can't wait to try a turkey in the insta pot. Thanks for your recipes.
Love it! Thank you for sharing! Looks good. Lovely family 😊
Thank you, I'm the Hero of Thanksgiving!
The giblets can be used when making stock, or to feed dogs/cats as an ingredient in pet treats.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and to your family Jeff.
Great video!! Love mom & dad’s New Yoooork accent!
Thanks for including your mistakes. Too many people edit everything to appear perfect. The mistakes are just as important if not more important than the successes.
Respect.
I love your videos as well as your wonderful sense of humor!
I am definitely going to try this. If you have a daughter or other who has an insta pot cook, borrow their’s . Then if you need to feed more people you’d have 18 lbs. Thanks!
FYI I found that 2.5 gallon storage bags work well too got the brining
Jeffrey, you are amazing! I love this video. I've never cooked a turkey before. I'm bookmarking this. This Thanksgiving, watch out! Thank you so much !!
Looks great. I just got my Instapot for Christmas. Making this turkey
