The instant pot is definitely a meal time lifesaver, but it especially comes in handy during the holidays. Whether you're needing instant pot Thanksgiving recipes or instant pot Christmas recipes, because there's some overlap in popular dishes between the two, we wanted to share our favorite pressure cooker holiday recipes that are perfect for either!

It's always the same situation every year with holiday cooking, how in the world do we fit all of these dishes into the oven at the same time? Or what if you simply don't want to heat up your house all day by keeping an oven on?

While I doubt you're planning to make your entire holiday menu in your instant pot, using your pressure cooker for some of your Thanksgiving or Christmas favorites will simplify holiday cooking PLUS make super juicy and moist dishes that might otherwise dry out in the oven

Recipe by Cookie Rookie

If you're cooking for a smaller crowd, cooking an instant pot turkey breast instead of the whole turkey is a smart way to go. The instant pot keeps your turkey so moist and juicy and is my preferred way to cook a holiday turkey.

If you have a large enough instant pot and want to cook an entire turkey, here's an option for you!

Don't forget the instant pot gravy, if you don't want to make it on the stove top this year.
