In reply to Betty Owens. I'm not sure if that will fit in your instant pot or not. Before you try cooking it, you should leave the turkey breast in the packaging and place it on top of the trivet in your instant pot to see if it will fit or not, and if the lid will close properly.

I have a 9.76 lb turkey breast will it fit in my 8 quart instant pot?

In reply to Danielle. The vegetables help make the turkey juicy and flavorful. You can eat the vegetables with the turkey, if you want.

In reply to Mary Lynn Tumlin. The turkey I used was 8 pounds, and it just fit, so I think a 12 pound one wouldn't fit.

Most turkeys that I see in the grocery store are around 12 pounds. That’s way too big, right?

What do you do with the vegetables after? Why are they needed? TIA

In reply to Lou Ann. I used an 8 quart for this recipe. Thanks for asking since I should have noted that in the recipe (doing that now). You can adjust the size of the turkey to one that fits in your 6 quart and then just adjust the cooking time down accordingly.

Hi Corinne,
So exciting to make a turkey. However, I have not been able to find an 8 lb turkey at my stores. I have the 6qt and have been only able to fit a 4 lb chicken. So you were able to fit an 8 lb turkey with no problems?? Thanks for the recipe!!
