I have been cooking a 9-10 pound turkey in my 8qt. Instant Pot pressure cooker, several years, now. Like you I buy 2 turkeys a year. My Publix usually has turkeys for $.39 a pound. I do brown my turkey after cooking in the oven for about 10 minutes under the broiler. In total time with the browning my 10 pound turkey only took 55 minutes to cook. It was juicy and delicious. I have a daughter who absolutely loves turkey and is in heaven when I cook them this way. 😊❤️
wow, I just ordered my Elite 10 quart pressure cooker yesterday and can hardly wait for it come. I got it off Amazon and it just happened to be the last one there and was red too. LOL. I can hardly wait to use some of your recipes with it. I have always wanted one because, i freeze a lot of my meat and hate to waist time thawing it. Could you come up with some recipes for single men. I know i can freeze leftovers but I do not have much room in my freezer. I love your shows, you, Rick, your children and the pets are great. My grandmother used to cook with the old style pressure cooker on the stove and when she cooked chicken she would always make chicken noodle soup.
I have the Elite 10QT also and did the Turkey (12 lb.). I browned it at 450 in the oven for 30 min then pressure cooked it for only 25 minutes. Came out deliciously juicy, nicely browned, and the breast was still able to be sliced for sandwiches later as leftovers.
Great job Noreen. I like that your videos get straight to the point and having a separate cameraman helps in the presentation so thanks to your hubby I assume also.
I had a pressure cooker years ago...it had the little weight on the top which jiggled and hissed while it operated. I LOVED that thing. I made a meatball stew with veg and gravy in 15 minutes. Conversely, I was NEVER happy with my slow cookers. Love your recipes! Real food for real people!
I have the same 10 qt pressure cooker but I separated the wings, legs, breast and back and cooked it in parts(12 lb turkey). Browned it under the over broiler first. Turned out great and could use the tongs to remove when done.
That looks great! I can't wait to try itlAlso: I have to say, I really appreciate your setting. It seems like I'm in my neighbor's kitchen, or my own. I sling trays and cutting boards over my sink all the time! Thanks for being so real.
We've been pressure-cooking turkeys in a big pressure canner for years. We did a 27-pound turkey in a pressure canner this year, at six minutes per pound. Years ago we simply got tired of spending 4 to 6 hours baking a traditional turkey and ending up with dry breast mean, which makes up probably half the turkey. Pressure cooking gives the entire turkey a juicy tenderness throughout the meat for all the elderly family members with dentures who have to fight eating a dry baked turkey... But it works and it's delicious...
The foil sling is genius! I've made numerous turkeys in my pressure cooker and could never figure out how to get the bird out. As you said, it's literally falling-off-the-bone done. The only thing I do differently is brown it in the cooker itself, putting a little oil on the bottom. It is a bit of a challenge getting the turkey all browned, but it makes clean up easier as there is only one pot to clean. I also pressure cooked mine for 30-40 min., but I based it on about 3 min. per pound. I also reused the bones to make turkey broth -- I ended up putting up 8 quarts of broth afterwards. Again, as you noted, 1-1/2 hrs. to cook a turkey mid-week "ain't bad!"
Noreen's recipes influenced me last year to get an electric PC. I have tried lots of her recipes and have never been disappointed. Now, my daughter, my sister, and a lady I met and chatted with in a thrift store are using the electric PC. You won't be dissatisfied. Happy cooking.
i love my pressure cooker . now i need to go get a turkey ,lol ty Noreen . great video as always . now im in the mood for more pressure cooking recipes ! you guys have a great rest of the week . hugs n xx
wow gotta say that it looked so dry when it came out of the oven, but after the pressure cooker it looked amazing!!!!!! thanks for sharing, Now i got to get a pressure cooker!
Another one here with a little six quart cooker. I'm hoping Presto makes a ten quart model. Digital units don't do anything for me since I can't see the readout but a stovetop model would do the trick. I've done whole chickens in my little cooker and they've come out great. I'll try flash browning a hen next time I do a chicken in my cooker. Yummy.
Wow. Wish I was there for dinner that night! I have only done casseroles in my pressure cooker but you have me keen to try a roast. Thanks so much for sharing.
Looks awesome!! I wonder tho, what if you cook it for the hour in the pressure cooker first (I have an Instant Pot) and then roasted it in the 400* oven for 1/2 hr or so afterwards - would the skin then get nice and crisp?
i remember that me and my brother would say that when when the pop up timer popped it was time to pop the turkey in the trash because it would would be way over cooked
I have an Instant Pot and love, love, love it. Everything comes out perfectly and it saves so much time. I have to try a small turkey. It's only a 6 QT so a big turkey would never fit.
I've had a Nesco electric pressure cooker for over a year now and will NEVER be without one! Love how easy it makes cooking those "long time cooking" meals a snap. So easy to put roasts, chicken, veggies, etc. in the (toaster) oven to broil/brown then into the Nesco pressure cooker for a short time, then "beep-beep" - out comes a meal that would have taken all day! LOL .. it's also saved my buttons when I've forgotten to take things out of the freezer. Thank you for showing how easy it is to those who may not have considered getting one.
Only have a 6 quart pressure cooker...but I think if I take off the legs and wings, the turkey I have in the freezer will fit. Gonna try this...it looked great.
I seriously doubt that the bird sans the legs will even fit in a 6 quart machine. I would consult the guide that came with your PC before even attempting a feat like this. Mine is 10 quarts, a gallon larger than yours. I would say you could safely do a large chicken, but a turkey I doubt would work.
I am afraid to post this because you might yell at me lol. I bought the Elite, got a 12 pound turkey (Publix - frozen). I cooked it in the oven for 30min at 450 and the color was AWESOME - I wanted to serve it right then lol. I put it into the Elite, sling and all, and cooked it for 45 minutes and let it do the natural release. The white meat was pretty dry and crumbled easily. Okay, this is not a complaint, I am looking for what to try and adjust. the turkey was NOT a Butterball, but like a said it was Publix brand (local grocery store, but a large one). I used peach juice as the liquid, 3 cups. Did the butter and stuff before the oven. So, I want to know, was it the bird, or was it me ??? lol I am going to make another for Christmas, what would you do - so I can do it too :) By the way, I LOVE LOVE this machine, make babyback ribs i it, and WOW! Thanks a bunch ~Peter
+PeterGregg I don't yell at people who ask logical and well thought out and well asked questions. It could have been your bird. I don't use Butterballs at all. I use the cheapest bird that is available. Sometimes I can get the "fresh" turkeys after the holiday when they have frozen them to extend the shelf life. My turkey was moist and flavorful. Next time reduce the time by 15 minutes. The worst that could happen is that you need to repressurize for more time. I am glad to hear you love this PC. I do too!
I wonder if the problem was the peach juice. I'd suggest trying again and using water or broth. And 1 to 1 and a half cups should do it. The peach juice may have been too thick. Just a thought as I can't imagine anything coming out of a pressure cooker being dry. Good Luck!
Phenomenal Turkey! I usually dislike turkey as without a sauce it seems to dry for me. I could have eaten that whole turkey leg & thigh when you pulled it away from the bone. Thanks Noreen :)
I’m a subscriber and love your channel!! Even though 5 years has gone by I was clapping when you took the turkey out of the cooker!! I love your perfect brown sugar bacon too! God Bless and may your family remain in good health this Thanksgiving Season, we love your family! Thumbs up each time! More recipes for the insta pot please. Steel cut oatmeal in the insta pot? And variations for it?
Thanks for your kind comments. We do lots of pressure cooker recipes. We do have a playlist. As for the steel cut oats. We eat low carb most of the year now and we only eat one full meal a day because we are on a special eating plan. A lot of the sweets that you see me make go to other people. We don't eat oatmeal so don't be too disappointed when you don't see me make it. We offer lots of other pressure cooker recipes though. Hope you will check them out.
We have a 22 lb bird sitting in the freezer because it was $6.12 three days after Thanksgiving. Couldn't pass up that deal. Alas my pressure cooker is not big enough to accommodate that size. What I should have done, since it was fresh bird, was break it down in to parts then freeze it. Live and learn. :) Natasha
My pressure cooker is a "Mirro" and it works perfect, mine can cook a 15lb turkey.I recommend Mirro, I haven't even had to replace a gasket yet.I have a 13 and a half pound bird in mine right now.
+Noreen's Kitchen Animal??? No, it's not electric lol, and it's not limited to electric, it can be used with gas or coals also and it cans meats very well, quart size too. I've had 13 years of service with it and counting, with no issues. When your buttons stop working or your heating element fails, I'll still be cooking, lol That's something to think about huh? Happy Holidays!
I'd like to try a smaller one from frozen ,..I'd probably have to run a little warm water inside to get the giblets out..the electronic ones wont start the cooking countdown timer till they reach pressure...that looks fantastic
ok, I think I have taken the strip one step better. Further, my pressure cooker has a canning thing in the bottom, to prevent the glass from breaking. I am putting the strips under the canning thing to see if I can lift out the turnkey like that. ill let you know how it goes in about an hour. hint: DONT BE CHEAP ON THE STRIPS. also, before cooking, im just taking all the skin off and will cook it like an additional item in the oven in a cookie sheet with specific seasoning, etc.
+Noreen's Kitchen Thanks - that was fast :) I just looked on your website at www.noreenskitchen.com/ - I found a mix recipe on there, cool thank you :)
I would suggest you refer to your machine's operation manual for that information. If I were to make a whole chicken in mine and it were completely thawed and at room temperature, I would set the machine for 20 minutes.
Have a 4 and 6qt Pressure cooker at the moment but have done whole chickens so I hear you with how insanely "fall off the bone tender" they will be. I def. want a 10qt unit so I can do the turkey like you did. Who needs magazine cover turkey when it falls off like that??????
I have a 8 quart elite. I have a feeling I won't be able to cram a turkey in it :o( Your turkey looked absolutely delicious! I appreciate the pressure cooker recipes!
While I like electric convenience, I prefer manual pressure cookers. Why? In a blackout (I live in the midwest-storms), you can't use electric appliances. The same recipe will work in a manual. Great vid & recipe! Thank you. I plan to try it.
Your points are valid, however if you have no power and an electric stove, that point is moot anyway. Additionally, there is a difference in the way you cook in a manual, stovetop pressure cooker and the way electronic versions work. I always encourage people who may not know this to do their research first and read the owners guide before proceeding with the assumption that they are the same. Thanks for commenting. Enjoy!
Do I need to increase the time for 6,500 ft. elevation? By the way, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Your Cooking videos!!! I first found you years ago from your marzipan recipe💗 I just adore you! Thank You!
Kiersten Paimli They no longer make the PC I have so I probably won't be doing a review. I know that Elite makes an 8 quart, but no longer has the 10 quart available. I am happy with this model and for the money it was a steal. I have also had the Wolfgang Puck version in the past and liked it as well. Problem with most of these appliances is that we use them a lot and they are just not built to last if you use them a lot. If you use yours a lot, plan on replacing every three to four years.
You would need to consult the users manual for your particular model of pressure cooker it will probably give you that information since I have never done a whole chicken in my pressure cooker I really couldn’t say.
We used to pressure cook chickens for our dogs food. Pressure cookers make the bones so soft they are eatable. There is so much nutrition for your dog's in those bones. Does it do the same with turkey bones?
This model says you "can" however, I would not trust it. Having had a good look at the recipes they recommend for it. It is quite evident that they are all high acid foods that would only require water bath canning. I would not trust it at all for anything that would need to be traditionally pressure canned because I cannot control the pressure gauge and I cannot see how the pressure is regulated. I would say that no this is not appropriate for canning. Go with the tried and true method for canning long term shelf stable foods.
Noreen can you tell me how many people can a 10 qt feed at meal time? We are a large family and I keep thinking it will be to small. there are 4 adults and 4 almost 5 children in the house. Will this size make meals large enough for us? Thank you
If you break it down a bit more it might help you to know just how big this vessel is. 10 quarts is 2 1/2 gallons! That's a lot of food, soup, chili, stew, etc. I think that this would easily make enough to feed nine people! Even have some leftovers. I made my Italian style chicken soup and ended up with enough soup for 4 meals for my family of 4. That is a total of 16 servings of soup. My 12 pound turkey would have been enough to feed 9 people. You can make a ton of pulled pork or chicken or spaghetti sauce or chili or any number of easy dishes in this cooker for that many people, even more most likely!
Wonderful thank you. I use my crockpots a lot but sometimes forget till too late in the day to cook the meal I had planned that day. I thought stovetop model pressure cookers were my only option and I wanted something I could walk away from. Not to mention baby to be is due is 6 days and I know over the next several months time in the kitchen will be limited and this would be a lifesaver. Thanks for answering my questions.
So I have a crazy question: I only have HUGE stove top pressure cooker. Is it possible to cook the bird in that? Yum-o recipe by the way. Keep them coming!
Totally possible to cook in your stove pressure cooker. Frozen bird can cook in 90 mins. Trying to figure out how long to pressure cook a non frozen turkey??
Does the breast meat have good flavor? I've always had better luck smushing salt and seasoning under the skin. Looks prettier on the skin, but doesn't seem to absorb it well.
You can feel free to do that. We do not like the flavor of wine. We don't like to drink it and we don't like to cook with it. We would prefer beer, which would also be good. Or bourbon, whichever.
I have been cooking a 9-10 pound turkey in my 8qt. Instant Pot pressure cooker, several years, now. Like you I buy 2 turkeys a year. My Publix usually has turkeys for $.39 a pound.

We are getting a big snow storm today in CT. Giving this a try today.
I love pressure cooking, so I've really been enjoying your videos, Noreen. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Have a 6 Quart Pressure Cooker, really love your Pressure Cooker recipes
Because of you I've wanted a pressure cooker and I finally got one for Christmas. I can't wait to try one of your recipes =)

That is so awesome. I want to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Look good, can't wait to try this in my new pressure cooker!

OMG This looks amazing! I am going to have to try this out!

Fantastic! I'm trying one tomorrow in my InstantPot. Thank you for the video!
I've got to get me one of those pressure cookers! Fast way to make turkey for the holidays for sure. It looks great! TFS Noreen!
I have a 14 lb. turkey and a 23-quart pressure cooker. THE TIME HAS COME.
i have done up to a 19lb bird in my 23qt but that barely fit lol.. it was wonderful
Yum...wish I could come to your house for dinner! Thanks a lot, Noreen.:))

+Noreen's Kitchen Animal??? No, it's not electric lol, and it's not limited to electric, it can be used with gas or coals also and it cans meats very well,
quart size too.
I've had 13 years of service with it and counting, with no issues.
When your buttons stop working or your heating element fails, I'll
still be cooking, lol
That's something to think about huh?
Happy Holidays!
I'd like to try a smaller one from frozen ,..I'd probably have to run a little warm water inside to get the giblets out..the electronic ones wont start the cooking countdown timer till they reach pressure...that looks fantastic
Thanks for sharing!
Looks so good, thank you!
ok, I think I have taken the strip one step better. Further, my pressure cooker has a canning thing in the bottom, to prevent the glass from breaking. I am putting the strips under the canning thing to see if I can lift out the turnkey like that. ill let you know how it goes in about an hour. hint: DONT BE CHEAP ON THE STRIPS.
also, before cooking, im just taking all the skin off and will cook it like an additional item in the oven in a cookie sheet with specific seasoning, etc.
Got my instant pot ready to rock
Came out just like you said!
Noreen, I wish I had your confidence, u don't listen 2 any negative
Which dry poultry seasoning do you suggest (sorry, I am new at cooking).
+PeterGregg I make my own poultry seasoning, but you can pick up a poultry seasoning just about anywhere that will suffice. Even at the dollar store.
+Noreen's Kitchen Thanks - that was fast :) I just looked on your website at www.noreenskitchen.com/ - I found a mix recipe on there, cool thank you :)
What would you suggest for cooking times to similarly cook a whole chicken instead of a turkey? Really looks spectacular!
I would suggest you refer to your machine's operation manual for that information. If I were to make a whole chicken in mine and it were completely thawed and at room temperature, I would set the machine for 20 minutes.
Thanks!
Have a 4 and 6qt Pressure cooker at the moment but have done whole chickens so I hear you with how insanely "fall off the bone tender" they will be. I def. want a 10qt unit so I can do the turkey like you did. Who needs magazine cover turkey when it falls off like that??????
I have a 8 quart elite. I have a feeling I won't be able to cram a turkey in it :o( Your turkey looked absolutely delicious! I appreciate the pressure cooker recipes!
You could most likely do a 10 pound turkey in yours. If you think about it mine is only 1/2 gallon larger than your 8 quart.
This is very true, lol. I will be shopping for a 10 pound turkey soon! :o)
While I like electric convenience, I prefer manual pressure cookers. Why? In a blackout (I live in the midwest-storms), you can't use electric appliances. The same recipe will work in a manual. Great vid & recipe! Thank you. I plan to try it.
Your points are valid, however if you have no power and an electric stove, that point is moot anyway.

I always encourage people who may not know this to do their research first and read the owners guide before proceeding with the assumption that they are the same. Thanks for commenting. Enjoy!
I declare, I could actually smell this turkey! Love gravy on everything. Great job, Noreen.
im going to try fit a turky in a 6qt pot :) even if i have to cut it smaller
Jaco Jonker how did it work in the 6qt, that is what I have and want to try it?
Haahaa! If he has to! Looks fabulous!
Can I have turkey with you ? You always make my mouth water - your husband is a lucky guy
how did you make your gravy again
Do I need to increase the time for 6,500 ft. elevation?
By the way, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Your Cooking videos!!!
I first found you years ago from your marzipan recipe💗
I just adore you! Thank You!
how do i get adopted
great cooking keep it up
Do you think if you added some liquid smoke, you could get a smoked turkey flavor? I haven't a pressure cooker but am aiming to get one soon :)
What size pressure cooker were you using?
I have a 10 quart Elite electric pressure cooker.
Yummy
Is it as moist as it looks
Would you do a review on your pressure cooker? I'm in the market to buy one and can't decide what to get and would love your opinion thanks!
Kiersten Paimli They no longer make the PC I have so I probably won't be doing a review. I know that Elite makes an 8 quart, but no longer has the 10 quart available. I am happy with this model and for the money it was a steal. I have also had the Wolfgang Puck version in the past and liked it as well. Problem with most of these appliances is that we use them a lot and they are just not built to last if you use them a lot. If you use yours a lot, plan on replacing every three to four years.
Noreen, if I wanted to do this with a chicken what do you guess the timing would be?
You would need to consult the users manual for your particular model of pressure cooker it will probably give you that information since I have never done a whole chicken in my pressure cooker I really couldn’t say.
I think elite makes the best Pressure cookers I also have a 10 qt
Should I brine the turkey before cooking?
You don't have to brine your bird. I did not brine mine here. I often do not brine my bird even when oven roasting.
We used to pressure cook chickens for our dogs food. Pressure cookers make the bones so soft they are eatable. There is so much nutrition for your dog's in those bones. Does it do the same with turkey bones?
I did not find the turkey bones to be soft enough to give my dogs. So I think it may depend on how long you process them for. In this case it was not.
That's sooooo awesome! Thanks for suffering thru eating that turkey for us! LOL JK! Can you use these pressure cookers for canning also?
This model says you "can" however, I would not trust it. Having had a good look at the recipes they recommend for it. It is quite evident that they are all high acid foods that would only require water bath canning. I would not trust it at all for anything that would need to be traditionally pressure canned because I cannot control the pressure gauge and I cannot see how the pressure is regulated. I would say that no this is not appropriate for canning. Go with the tried and true method for canning long term shelf stable foods.
I thought you were worried about aluminum touching your food? Is this something I should worry about?
how did you figure how many minutes per pound ??
I looked it up
Noreen can you tell me how many people can a 10 qt feed at meal time? We are a large family and I keep thinking it will be to small. there are 4 adults and 4 almost 5 children in the house. Will this size make meals large enough for us? Thank you
If you break it down a bit more it might help you to know just how big this vessel is. 10 quarts is 2 1/2 gallons! That's a lot of food, soup, chili, stew, etc. I think that this would easily make enough to feed nine people! Even have some leftovers. I made my Italian style chicken soup and ended up with enough soup for 4 meals for my family of 4. That is a total of 16 servings of soup. My 12 pound turkey would have been enough to feed 9 people. You can make a ton of pulled pork or chicken or spaghetti sauce or chili or any number of easy dishes in this cooker for that many people, even more most likely!
Wonderful thank you. I use my crockpots a lot but sometimes forget till too late in the day to cook the meal I had planned that day. I thought stovetop model pressure cookers were my only option and I wanted something I could walk away from. Not to mention baby to be is due is 6 days and I know over the next several months time in the kitchen will be limited and this would be a lifesaver. Thanks for answering my questions.
Can the baked beans be canned ?
What beans? But if you want to know please research canning baked beans. This pressure cooker is not appropriate for canning.
So I have a crazy question: I only have HUGE stove top pressure cooker. Is it possible to cook the bird in that? Yum-o recipe by the way. Keep them coming!
Totally possible to cook in your stove pressure cooker. Frozen bird can cook in 90 mins. Trying to figure out how long to pressure cook a non frozen turkey??
Does the breast meat have good flavor? I've always had better luck smushing salt and seasoning under the skin. Looks prettier on the skin, but doesn't seem to absorb it well.
out of curiosity, do you prefer turkey this way, or oven roasted?
i was wondering the same question Noreen ! is it much moister than roasting????
try basting it in brandy
John Batchler not a fan of alcohol in my cooking.
Yes buy the turkey when it is that cheap...my sister p8ck me up two fresh ones from Costco for about .50 lb ..averaging 22-25 lb
I use my 23qt pressure canner to cook my turkeys. but i can only fit up to a 19pound one.
Try one cup chicken stock and one cup white wine
You can feel free to do that. We do not like the flavor of wine. We don't like to drink it and we don't like to cook with it. We would prefer beer, which would also be good. Or bourbon, whichever.
This would be great in these nacho egg rolls!!
