Orange Beef “Fried Rice” Casserole
Thanksgiving-Inspired Pulled Turkey
| By : |
The sun doesn’t rise and set on pork, beef, and chicken when it comes to pulled dishes. You can even cook turkey tenderloins until they can be pulled into what can only be described as a one-pot version of a Thanksgiving meal, made with cranberry sauce, sage, and thyme. The shredded sweet potato adds lots of sweetness and thickens the sauce as the pieces melt into it.
Although turkey tenderloins work best because they shred into a “pulled” consistency, a chunk of boneless skinless turkey breast will do fine even if it’s not so easy to shred. Cut it into three even pieces to match the approximate size and shape of turkey tenderloins.

Instructions
- Mix the broth, cranberry sauce, sage, thyme, and salt in the cooker. Stir in the shredded sweet potato, then set the turkey into this sauce, turning it to coat. Lock the lid onto the pot.
- Optional 1 Max Pressure Cooker
Press Pressure cook on Max pressure for 18 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. - Optional 2 All Pressure Cookers
Press Meat/Stew or Pressure cook (Manual) on High pressure for 25 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off. - When the machine has finished cooking, turning it off and let its pressure return to normal naturally, about 20 minutes. Unlatch the lid and open the pot. Shred the meat with two forks in the pot, then stir well until coated with sauce. Set the led askew over the pot for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors and allow the turkey to continue to absorb the sauce.
Recipe Notes
Beyond
• For a 3-quart cooker, you must use 1/2 cup broth and halve the remaining ingredients.
• For an 8-quart cooker, you must increase all the ingredients by 50 percent.
• Unfortunately, this recipe doesn’t work well on the slow cooker setting. The turkey dries out too quickly.
• For the full Thanksgiving treatment, buy corn muffins, split them in half, then toast them cut side down on a baking sheet in a 400°F oven until crisp at the edges. Serve the pulled turkey over them in bowls.

Moist flavorful healthy- this recipe has it all!
Pretty good! Would be 5 stars since it may have been better with turkey thighs instead, but still very tasty & moist! I left out the cranberry sauce because i dont like it and added a bit more broth.
Its an ok recipe and i liked having an alternative however, using whole breasts, the meat wasn’t shreddable after cooking in broth as others said. Still very hood but it will need tweaking for our prefereces.
Used regular potato and 3tbsp of italian seasoning rather than thyme and sage.
Great!
I love this recipe it was delicious!
This really was good. I added a little apple cider. It turned out so well. It pulled apart nicely, I think if you release the steam too soon it will become tough and it may be why people are having some trouble with that.
This is delicious! So easy to prepare, hardest part was finding the turkey tenderloin. Thank you for the recipe!!
I didn’t have any sage available but flavor was still good. Tenderloin shredded nicely (used the 25 minute method). Shredded sweet potato was probably larger than needed, but no problem. Will make again.
I froze the extra, so looking forward to another meal later.
If you have a newer model instant pot absolutely do not stir in the sweet potato and maybe cranberries to be safe or you will get a burn notice. Either omit it or try to layer it ontop of the meat and very gently on – but not in the liquid.
