Preparation

  • Re-add the Turkey Wings back to Instant Pot along with remaining Butter and give it a good stir to incorporate ingredients.
  • Add 1.5 cups of Water, place the lid on and lock in place.
  • Reset Instant Pot to Pressure Cook and cook for 20-25 minutes depending on how big the Turkey Wings are.
  • When cooking process is over and Pressure Cooker is vented, remove the Turkey Wings and set aside.
  • Turn on the Sauté function.
  • In a small bowl, mix remaining Water and Cornstarch and add to liquid in Instant Pot. Stir while heats up and thickens to a Gravy.
  • Add the Turkey Wings back into Gravy and stir to incorporate. Shut off Instant Pot and cover until ready to serve.
