Pro Tips
• For a richer flavor, use the ‘Sauté’ function on your Instant Pot to brown the turkey pieces in a little oil before adding the sauce and pressure cooking.
• Turn the leftover sauce in the pot into a delicious gravy! Select the ‘Sauté’ function and whisk in a slurry of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Simmer until thickened.
