First dice onion, mince garlic, chop carrot & celery, and halve Yukon gold potatoes.

Prepare Pressure Cooker

Time to heat up your pressure cooker.

Instant Pot users: press Sauté button and click Adjust button to Sauté More function

Brown the Turkey Quarters

Note: You can brown the Turkey Quarters in the Instant Pot, but we found it easier to brown them on a skillet.

First, add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of olive oil. Ensure the whole bottom is covered with oil.

Then, place the turkey quarters on a preheated skillet over medium high heat (or in the Instant Pot).

Brown each side for roughly 4 – 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Deglaze Skillet (if you’re using a separate skillet)

Deglaze the skillet by pouring ½ cup (125ml) unsalted chicken stock.

Scrub the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

Reserve the flavorful liquid.

Onion and Garlic

Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of olive oil.

Then, add diced onion in the pressure cooker. Sauté for roughly a minute until soften.

Add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper.

Sauté Celery and Carrot

Add in chopped celery and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are slightly browned (roughly 5 – 7 minutes).

Optional layer seasoning: taste and season with more kosher salt and ground black pepper.

Add 2 bay leaves, a pinch of rosemary, sage and thyme (rub the herbs with your fingers to “activate” them), then sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Deglaze Instant Pot

Add a dash of sherry wine in the pressure cooker and deglaze by scrubbing the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Add Turkey Quarters & Potatoes

Add browned turkey quarters, reserved flavorful liquid from skillet (if any), and the remaining unsalted chicken stock in the pressure cooker.

Then, place the steamer basket with the halved potatoes into the pot (on top of the browned turkey quarters).

Close lid and pressure cook:

• Pressure Cooking Method: High Pressure for 18 – 20 minutes, then 10 minutes Natural Release

After 10 minutes of natural release, turn the Venting Knob to Venting Position to release the remaining pressure.

Open the lid carefully.

Make Mashed Potatoes

First, remove the steamer basket with the potatoes. Then, place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher.

Add in 1 – 2 tbsp (14g – 28g) unsalted butter, 30g grated parmesan cheese, and 100ml milk or cream.

Continue mashing and mixing until desired consistency.

Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste.

For creamier mashed potatoes, add more milk/cream.

Make Turkey Gravy

While mashing the potatoes, remove the turkey quarters and set aside.

Heat the pressure cooker over medium heat (Instant Pot: Press Saute).

Taste the sauce and season with salt and ground black pepper if necessary.

Mix 3 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water and stir the mixture into the turkey gravy one third at a time until desired thickness.

Serve

Drizzle the turkey gravy over the turkey quarters and mashed potatoes and serve immediately. 🙂
