Impress your guests with the juiciest and most flavorful Thanksgiving turkey cooked to perfection in the Instant Pot. The herb-infused butter adds a savory touch, and the accompanying homemade gravy is the perfect finishing touch to your holiday feast.

Ingredients: 1 whole turkey 12-14 pounds, thawed. 1 cup chicken broth. 1 cup water. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2 teaspoons dried thyme. 2 teaspoons dried rosemary. 2 teaspoons dried sage. Salt and black pepper to taste. 1 cup diced onions. 1 cup diced carrots. 1 cup diced celery. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 4 cups turkey or chicken broth for gravy.

Instructions: Wet a paper towel and run cold water over the turkey to protect it. Add a lot of salt and black pepper to the turkey. To make herb butter, put melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and sage in a small bowl and mix them together. Spread the herb butter mixture all over the turkey, even inside the skin. Add one cup of chicken broth and one cup of water to the trivet in the Instant Pot. Once the turkey is ready, put it on the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Put little pieces of onion, carrot, and celery around the turkey. Put the lid on top of the Instant Pot and turn the valve to "Sealing." Cook the turkey on high pressure for 6 minutes per pound. After the food is done cooking, let the pressure drop naturally for 15 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure by hand. Move the turkey carefully to a serving platter and cover it with foil to let it rest. Get the liquid out of the Instant Pot and strain it. Set this aside for the gravy. Melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat in a different pan. To make a roux, add 1/2 cup of flour and whisk it in all the time. Whisk in the Instant Pot liquid that has been strained and 4 cups of turkey or chicken broth slowly until the gravy gets thick. Add salt and pepper to taste to the gravy. Serve the turkey with the gravy you made yourself. Have fun with your tasty Instant Pot Turkey and Gravy!
