Equipment
- Instant Pot
- trivet
Ingredients
- 4 Turkey Legs
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Remove the turkey legs from the package and pat dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil on all sides, then sprinkle with dried seasonings. We recommend using a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to start.
- Place the trivet in the bottom of the instant pot, then add water. We recommend using about ½ cup of water.
- Carefully lower it into the instant pot, ensuring that it is not touching the sides or bottom of the pot.
- Close the instant pot lid and ensure the valve is set to sealing.
- Set the instant pot to cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
- Once the cook time is up, allow the instant pot to do a natural release for 15 minutes. This means that you will not touch the instant pot for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, release any remaining pressure by opening the valve.
- Carefully transfer the turkey to a baking dish and pat the skin dry. Broil on high for about two minutes or until the skin is crisp and golden brown.
- Let the turkey legs rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
