Wild turkey is notoriously known for being dry and somewhat tough. Our goal with this recipe was to create a simple way to introduce moisture to the wild turkey meat through the use of apple juice in a pressure cooker. The apple juice also adds a component of sweetness, while the spices supply the savory.

 

Ingredients:

·      1 wild turkey breast / 2 wild turkey legs

·      Olive oil

·      Apple juice

·      Paprika

·      Liberally rub turkey breast with olive oil on both sides so that it is well covered (~ 4 tbsp.)

·      Sprinkle breast with paprika so that it is well covered and little pink from the breast is showing through (~3-4 tbsp.)

·      Sprinkle with 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning

·      Finish with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp pepper

 

·      Prepare Instant Pot and place breast inside

·      Dump 4 cups of apple juice into the bottom of the inner bowl
