Gobble!! Gobble!! (Pressure Cook: Turkey Breast)

It was Canadian Thanksgiving a couple days ago. Seeing posts of Thankgiving recipes made me want to make turkey. Thought I'd give it a shot after some research.

Bought a bone-in half turkey breast which just fit in my 6 quart IP (Instant Pot).

Bone In Half Turkey Breast 
Ingredients: 
Bone in half turkey breast
1 cup broth
celery stalk
onion (chopped)
Some butter (Optional if you are browning your breast)

Directions:
Season your half turkey breast. I sprinkled sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary. Brown first to get some color. Press 'Saute' set to medium. Place butter in the pot (I used 3 Tbsp since it was leftover from a stick). Place turkey in breast side down. I did not touch it for 6 minutes. Then press "Cancel". Remove the turkey.

Add 1 cup broth (or water) to deglaze (make sure nothing is stuck at the bottom of the pot). Throw in chopped celery and onion. Put the turkey back breast side up.

Close the lid. Set your Pressure Cooker on Manual 20 min HP. Time will depend on how many pounds your bone in turkey breast is. Mine was 2.5 lbs, so I set it for 20 min. If yours is bigger, set it for more time. Natural pressure release after it is done.

To make the gravy, mix 3 Tbsp flour (or cornstarch) and 3 Tbsp water together. Whisk it into the IP which already has broth, celery, onions. Add more flour as needed to desired thickness.

Enjoy!!

Notes: 
Photo also includes carrot-potato mash (made it as an experiment but regular mashed potatoes taste so much better!)

Easy (Easiest) Turkey Spaghetti Meatballs

My husband LOVES LOVES LOVES spaghetti and meatballs.  I usually use ground beef but thought that I should switch it up this time.

Didn't have all the ingredients in my other recipe on hand.  Decided to look for another recipe that fit my ingredients. It's really only mixing turkey, egg, and breadcrumbs; then spicing it up!!

Easy Turkey Meatballs

Prep Time: 15 min     Bake Time: 25 min

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey

1 egg, beaten

1/3 cup breadcrumbs (I used Panko crumbs)

1 1/2 tsp italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a medium sized bowl, mix all the ingredients. In a 9x13 pan (or what I do is get 8x8 pan and a loaf pan instead), line them with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Use butter, oil, or nonstick spray on the foil. Either use your hands to form meatballs about 1.5 inches in diameter or an ice cream scoop to make them more uniform.

Bake for 25 minutes.

In a pot, prepare spaghetti. In a pan, heat up spaghetti sauce.

Grab a plate, place spaghetti with meatballs on top. Add as much sauce as you wish. 

Enjoy!! 

For the meatball leftovers, I made a meatball sub.
