How to cook a Turkey in the Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker & Air Crisper

Can you believe I fit a 10 pound turkey in my Ninja Foodi? I was shocked, too! It came out delicious and I can’t wait to share the recipe with you. CLICK …
I just did this in the 5qt with a store bought 4.5 lb brined turkey sans legs and wings.
A little over 1 cup water, room temp
4 to 5 min to reach pressure
then 7 min at pressure
then 10 minute natural release
then broiled in the foodie pan for 5 minutes on each side
let rest, covered 15 minutes
Tasted very good and juicy, however, I would do regular pressure at 5 minutes to truly make it juicier. On a learning curve with the 5qt. I just try and use you're formulas and tweak them down to accommodate the weight of whatever I'm cooking. Overall, it wasn't overcooked and to large to use with the plate when broiling. On top of that I did it outside, lol Overall A-B rating for this.
Thanks again for all the help, MB
Great looking bird. What is the strainer you used called? I didn't see it on your Amazon page.
Just got my Ninja Foodi for my birthday. I am so excited to try it out. I have always wanted a pressure cooker! Did you say Amazon store? Heading there and stocking up on accessories to go with my foodi!!
Can you stuffed it with bread stuffing
First, please accept kudos for still responding to comments about your youtube after 1 year! Next, more kudos for posting about your failures! There is much to be learned from sharing experiences, good and bad! Next next, I am very concerned with the fact that you violate one of the cardinal rules of pressure cooking with the electric pressure cookers! Which is- do not overfill the Inner Pot!
I am surprised that the Ninja lawyers have not yet contacted you about this, and asked you (politely) to take this youtube down! By overfilling the Inner Pot, you can (and you will) not achieve a uniform pressure inside the vessel. That is why they specify not to fill the Inner Pot beyond the fill line!
Give this a little more thought, or, at least, add a caution to your youtube advising your many patrons about this precaution, and the need to take some measurements with an instant read thermometer! Happy holidays! And thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Much appreciated!
Would love to see you take this again with a smaller bird so you can finish the last step! I've overcooked both the turkeys I made in my Ninja Foodi
Hands down the best turkey recipe ever. You nailed this. The turkey was so flavorful and juicy. 🤤
oh man my turkey is 13lbs 🙁
Wow… 18 minutes. I got mine today and I can’t wait til it’s at Christmas with me we’re already besties 😂
Thank you for this recipe. I cooked my first turkey, and my husband love it.
1. 18 minutes was a disaster, the legs were not done 145 degrees and red, breast very done.at 165 plus. The problem Thanksgiving meals are timed and the turkey not being done threw the timing off everything. 2. 10.06 # turkey in 8 qt Ninja fit but, I had to put it directly in the pot to make it work. 3. Turkey tasted good but I think that was due to the rub and that rub would have worked well in the oven, as well. 4. The moisture of the meat was no different than when I do turkeys in a bag in the oven. General comment: When I bought the Ninja I thought I was buying something that I could pressure cook an item and after that was done, I could use the air fryer function to brown the item. I can't find anything on the net that talks about that. It seems like you can do one or the other, but not both. I'm probably wrong and you can do both. Please put me to a recipe that does that. Thanks!
She talks too much and she's super fucking annoying, imagine having to live with her.
What about using tarragon? I am only cooking a turkey breast. How long do you think that will take I think it’s about 7 lbs
Rub: 4 T paprika, 2t poultry seasoning, 2t garlic powder, 2t red pepper flakes, 4t sea salt, 2t black restaurant pepper, 1t rosemary leaves crushed
theres a first for everything lol I cant wait to air fry my turkey…
Question – if you don't want to add orange peel while pressure cooking brine (due to bitterness) then shouldn't the peel be removed before adding to the turkey cavity?
Thank you for sharing this! My husband and I will be enjoying our first Thanksgiving together and I’ll be cooking our turkey in the Foodi! Since it will be just the two of us, we are planning on getting a small turkey. We considered just getting turkey breasts but we decided to take the traditional route and get a whole turkey instead. This will also be my first time cooking a full turkey, but I have cooked a small chicken in the Foodi which turned out perfect. Any suggestions you have are appreciated! ❤️
Also, what size would you suggest and how long should we pressure cook? We will devour leftovers for days so we aren’t worried about that!
Also, we are making corn on the cob (we are getting in husk) as one of our sides. Just two! Would we be able to kill two birds with one stone and pressure cook together? Or do you think would that be too difficult to time? 🤔
Thank you in advance and I will happily suggestions from anyone in the comments who sees this as well! Happy Thanksgiving! 😄
Love the Turkey recipe was wondering does it work the same with a whole chicken
OMG… I watched this whole thing to watch the crisping function… so disappointing
I actually got a 12 lb turkey in my 8qt. then did air crisp. Came out good.
YOU'RE AWESOME !!
I am wondering, you said when doing the brine that you held out the citrus peels because they get very bitter in the pressure setting…don't they do the same thing when you put the orange wedges inside the turkey?
I love your recipes ❤️. I just got the ninja oven. Already have the foodie
Hi, great channel! I do, however, have a question. How much "up to pressure" cook time did you originally calculate with the 25 min PC time? You adjusted the PC time to 21 mins because of the length of time it took to come to pressure (which is also cooking time as you mentioned), were you aiming for a total cook time of 40ish mins? I'm trying to determine how much time I should adjust based on the length of time my foodie takes to come to pressure (I also have an 8qt). Thank you for the videos!
Hey where do you get all your bowls and plastic measuring cups?
Do you have to brine. I have always used a turkey bag
I use the neck and giblets in the gravy. Usually separate, but this works out nicely. I wonder if I can justify getting a 2nd foodi, and having the 8 qt too.
I keep kitchen gloves, disposable, for working with meat. Washing my hands gets old. And it prevents my nails from discoloring from ingredients.
Everyone always uses the air crisp function after pressure cooking the chicken/turkey whole. Has anyone tried the bake/roast function instead of air crisp?
I really enjoy watching your show!
I'm excited about cooking my turkey now. I can take the time & look for the perfect bird to fit my machine. That was a lot of liquid after cooking it, I think the sling is definitely a must
33:59 her reaction made me hungry!
Hello! I loved this video! Me and my family often watch your channel and repeat the recipes. I do have one question though, does the turkey have to be frozen or out of the fridge? Thank you ❤️
What a fascinating watch. As far as I can tell, this is the only whole turkey Foodi attempt on YouTube. You did a great job, but I hope you try it again someday. It's easy to see that you were super close to perfection.
Good recipe but shorten your video by talking less and just being precise. It can get overwhelming to be sincere.
After watching your Ninja foodi on youtube for about a week my wife said to go ahead and order it,we now have the 6.5 and 8 quart,my wife cooks everything in it just bought a brand new stove don't use it now.cooked a turkey and everything else you can think of.i bought my daughter one and told her about the salted pepper,now she doesn't use her oven, another hooked Ninja foodi.
I just love your YouTube on the ninja foodi I have the 8 and 6 quart I cooked a 12 pound Turkey in my 8 quart i spatchcoked my turkey(removing the backbone fit in perfect cooked for 21 min then crisped was the best Turkey ever.thanks,keep up the good work.
awesome video, can you tell me? how would you balance the cooking time and temp to get juicy breasts and still have the thighs and dark meat cooked through with out being under done
You’ve probably been asked this question a thousand times…..make it 1,001 today. I plan on Pressure Cooking an 8 pounder at 15 minutes. I really would like to Air Crisp it afterwards. So how long do I AC my bird for? BTW, your videos are off the hook!
I just love your show! I just watched the show on using the grill from Grill Grate. I ordered the grill today! You have turned me into a Nija Foodi super advocate. Thank you for your presentations which are so well done. Chuck
I really hope
this doesn't seem like a ridiculous question-lol- my mother wants me to stuff the turkey…is it possible? I've been thinking of ways to do it but I'm thinking the stuffing would become too 'wet' being in the pressure cooker? Then I've gotta get it out somehow? Do you have any ideas Louise? Or is it just not going to happen?!?
