Instant Pot Gravy Recipes

INSTANT POT GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, create a slurry with the cornstarch and water by mixing them together thoroughly.
• Measure pan juices and place back into the Instant Pot.
• Select Sauté and bring the juices to a simmer.
• Whisk the cornstarch slurry in to the juices (it is a good idea stir the slurry just before adding to the juices as the cornstarch will have most likely settled). Stir constantly until the juices have thickened, approximately 3 - 5 minutes.
• Select Cancel to stop the cooking process.
• Taste for seasoning and add salt and/or pepper if needed. It is very seldom that I have to add anything to the pan juices. They are that good!
• Pour into a gravy boat and serve.

INSTANT POT TURKEY GRAVY

Steps:

• Add the butter to a 6-quart Instant Pot® and set to saute on high (see Cook's Note). Melt the butter completely, then add the flour and whisk to combine until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the roux is the color of peanut butter, 5 to 8 minutes. Slowly whisk in the warmed stock and bring to a simmer, whisking, until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot or cool down completely and store tightly covered in the fridge.
• When you're ready to serve, reheat the gravy over medium heat. If you have pan drippings from roasting a bird that you want to use, whisk them in when reheating the gravy. If the gravy is too thick, thin to the desired consistency with additional turkey stock.
• Preheat a 6-quart Instant Pot® using the saute setting on high (see Cook's Note). Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and brown your turkey pieces in batches, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add all the browned turkey pieces back to the pot along with the garlic, celery, carrot, onion, sage, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, peppercorns, 2 quarts water and 2 teaspoons salt.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high 45 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer and skim any fat off the top before using.

INSTANT POT® PAN JUICE GRAVY

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function.
• Combine water and cornstarch in the pot and stir to create a slurry. Add pan juices, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic salt and stir to incorporate. Add browning sauce (see Cook's Note).
