Whatcha doing for Thanksgiving?

This has traditionally been "our holiday" to feed the masses of my inlaws; however, we announced some time ago that wasn't happening as my spouse is immunocompromised. We plan to make a mini turkey in our Instant Pot.

Looking for a nice turkey recipe that'll afford some gravy as well!
Picked up a JennieO Tu Spray Pam on the bottom, add some oil, dried onion and then put turkey on saute mode to sear both sides of the breast - 4-5 minutes total for the whole effort. Then take out the turkey breast out and put in the metal rack to hold the turkey. Add chopped onion and 2-4 cups of water depending on the size of the turkey breast. Add 3 cubes of Wylers chicken bullion, black pepper, galric salt, celery seed and celery salt. Add one package of McCormick Turkey Gravy and put it on the meat setting for 20 minutes. Let it slow release for 15 minutes. We gave it a trial run a while back - success. Turkey was reasonably moist - gravy was "ok" - but easy enough to prepare.

@kluurs thanks!
I'm a turkey gravy fanatic. I'll have to look at your recipe later and see if a better gravy can work.
I'm not good with "okay." I want "spectactular!"
I made a turkey breast on Monday in a Dutch oven that came out pretty good, and the gravy was fine too!

I have used my IP a couple more times lately. Love it. I wish I could remember what it was for.

It’s for cooking things quickly under pressure but that’s not important right now.
Only non-witches get due process.

No, I meant what I fixed.

Dude! C'mon!
Tasha's Cauldron comes out next week. That'll give you exactly one week to respec your sheet and get ready to take on Ravenloft.
I mean, pfffft, what else is there to do??

We are having a quiet thanksgiving dinner at home. My wife, me, our 2 year old daughter, and now our son who’s less than a month old. We will FaceTime with family (who are nearby) but I don’t want to mingle during this pandemic period. SAD!
But it’ll be nice to have our own little dinner now that my family had grown from 3 to 4.

We often have TG just the three of us. Usually we travel. But when we haven’t it’s usually the three of us.
One time maybe a decade ago we had a half dozen people over, including Bernard.
I hosted family in 2007 which unbeknownst to us was my mom’s last TG. We hosted family again in 2013 when we bought this house.
