I’m trend-resistant. It’s always the same with me: Smoothie bowls? Wtf, why? I’m good. Six months later: Oh, OK, yeah, this makes a lot of sense. Dammit!
Or this: Avocado toast? How about just keep the avocados on freaking chips where they belong. Six months later: Oh, well, yeah, this is delicious. OK.
And the same goes for the Instant Pot, of course. Why would I add yet another gadget to my kitchen? It’ll just overcook everything and make it soupy and weird. And y’all are like a damn cult with this EyePee stuff. Hard pass. And now? I’m seriously counting down the days until my Paleo Instant Pot cookbook comes out, complete with 30 Whole30-compliant recipes (meaning no sugar at all, no alcohol, and no paleo-ified treats or breads!) to make eating clean that much easier. And if you haven’t noticed lately, I make a ton in the Instant Pot. From my Instant Pot Whole30 cranberry sauce with apples and rosemary to my Whole30 Instant Pot mashed potatoes with garlic and herbs, even my Instant Pot caramel sauce, the Instant Pot is my happy place.
I really think you should get one on an inevitable Black Friday sale, if you’re not already so lucky to have one. So, thinking of how to keep the holidays less stressful, more fun, and generally just easier, a Whole30 Instant Pot turkey breast with gravy was so logical. But I won’t lie to you: I kept it simple. I took my amazing brined turkey breast with a garlic-herb butter stuffed under the skin and made it into an Instant Pot-friendly recipe. The result? Super moist and tender turkey with a rich gravy made quickly and easily. And hey! The gravy is made in the Instant Pot while the turkey cooks, infusing it with that garlic-herb butter, turkey juices, and making last-minute gravy while everyone sits at their place setting, waiting to eat, trying desperately to avoid talking about religion and politics (and probably doing a very poor job of it) a thing of the past.
What, just my family? Oh… OK.
