Best Way to Cook a Thanksgiving Turkey Fast: Perfect Roast Turkey in Just Two Hours

How fast can we cook a great turkey? Two hours. The recipe: 🦃 In our quest to cook the best ever Thanksgiving turkey, we’ve cooked birds sous vide, rolled up roulades, deep-fried those pieces KFC-style, and even buried it in super-heated salt. Through all of these turkey trials, tribulations, and successes, we’ve stayed away from roasting that big bird whole. We’re staunch believers that the key to getting the best-tasting white meat and the most succulent dark meat is to actually cook them separately. But we know that many of our turkey recipes are pretty time-consuming. So, this year we limited ourselves to a short window of time. This two-part method gives you juicy breasts and moist, tender legs in just about two hours. Plus, a delicious gravy is built right in! All you need is a pressure cooker and an oven. This rapid-fire turkey technique is definitely not traditional. But the results are absolutely worth it. Sign up for a ChefSteps account to get our newsletter with late
