Method

  1. Salt the thighs. Brown them skin side down in the butter using the sauté setting, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the water, lock the lid and cook at high pressure for 35 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
  3. Check the thighs have reached 165°F. Move them skin side up to a tray and broil 3 to 5 minutes to crisp the skin.

Tips

Spoon the cooking liquid over the meat; it is full of flavor from the turkey.

Storage and reheating

Keeps 4 days in the fridge or 3 months frozen.
