11 Tasty Instant Pot Thanksgiving Recipes

Here are 11 Instant Pot Thanksgiving Recipes I’m sure you will enjoy. From turkey, potatoes, vegetables, and even desserts.

Instant Pot Thanksgiving Recipes

If your oven is too busy roasting a turkey and you’d like to put your pressure cooker to good use, then these Instant Pot Thanksgiving Recipes are just what you need. From main dishes to side dishes, and desserts.


Instant Pot Turkey Breast (Bone-in or Boneless)

You can make a bone-in or boneless turkey breast right in your Air Fryer. It’s perfect if you need a little extra turkey meat or if you’d rather just have a smaller breast for a smaller dinner. The instructions include how to create a gravy with the turkey drippings. 

Creamy Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

These Creamy Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes will be the talk of the dinner table as they are so creamy and delicious. I use white truffle flavored olive oil and parmesan cheese to add a restaurant-quality taste to them. You could always substitute butter instead if that’s more your speed.

White Cheddar Pressure Cooker Pasta

Everyone is making traditional mac and cheese, why not surprise them with white cheddar pasta instead. This creamy, delicious, and super cheesy pasta recipe is all made in your Instant Pot.

Southern Style Pressure Cooker Collard Greens Recipe

These Collard Greens are a family favorite and they’re seasoned to perfection with the help of a smoked turkey leg. It’s a simple dump and press the button kind of recipe for the Instant Pot. Instructions for making it meatless are included as well.

Instant Pot Buttered Cabbage

This Southern Buttered Cabbage recipe is absolutely perfect in the Instant Pot. With only 6 ingredients and a 6 minute pressure cook time, it will be one of the easiest sides you make this Thanksgiving. 

Cheddar and Sour Cream Corn on the Cob Seasoning

This Cheddar and Sour Cream Corn on the Cob is a fun twist on the traditional corn on the cob. Cook the corn in the Instant Pot to make perfect corn on the cob, and then cover it an amazing sour cream and cheddar blend.

Copycat Rice a Roni

You can never go wrong with flavorful rice pilaf for Thanksgiving dinner. This Copycat Rice a Roni can easily be made in your Instant Pot from scratch. 

Instant Pot Cajun Dirty Rice

Speaking of rice, this Cajun Dirty Rice is so flavorful that it belongs on every Thanksgiving table. This recipe calls for chicken livers to get that authentic dirty rice taste, but those who don’t like it can leave it out.

Creamy Mushroom and Parmesan Instant Pot Risotto

Mushroom risotto may not seem like your traditional Thanksgiving side by why not? Your family will be thoroughly impressed by the depth of flavor and texture of this amazing risotto. 

Instant Pot Carrot Cake Cheesecake

Let’s not forget the lovely desserts of Thanksgiving. It’s such a great idea to combine two dessert options in one dish. This Carrot Cake Cheesecake made in the Instant Pot is exquisite. It will be hard not to grab a second slice.

Instant Pot Bread Pudding with Pecan Caramel Glaze

This Bread Pudding with Pecan Caramel Glaze made in the Instant Pot will be the talk of the dinner table. Whether to serve it for breakfast or dessert will be the hardest decision you’ll need to make.

I hope you enjoy all these wonderful recipes for your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. You can find more Pressure Cooker recipes on the site as well.
