Instant Pot Gravy with Pan Juices
Let me just start out by saying, Instant Pot Gravy isn’t going to save you any time over the traditional gravy-making process. I know we are used to the Instant Pot being such a time saver. This is not fast and you need to buy extra wings and a turkey back for roasting to get the pan juices. However, Another hidden benefit is by roasting the wings for the pan juices, I get extra turkey meat (sub-Turkey for Chicken) to make my Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup.
What I love about the Instant Pot for Thanksgiving is the do ahead nature of the Pot. I can make the gravy a few days ahead of my guests arriving or I can make it that morning and reheat it in the Instant Pot using the Slow Cooking feature or I can transfer the gravy to a slow cooker so I can make my Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes. Either way, the gravy is done, the potatoes are mashed and I am left to deal with the dressing and the turkey and I am calm not having to make things at the last minute while my guests are standing in and around the kitchen.
Remember great ingredients make great gravy so have Organic Turkey Parts and Taking Stock Bone Broth on hand that’s unsalted, organic, made from chicken bones that are roasted and really flavorful.
Try this gravy if you are looking for peace of mind and relaxation on your Thanksgiving as well as delicious gravy.
