How To Cook Ninja Speedi Turkey And Stuffing

Cooking a turkey and stuffing in the Ninja Speedi streamlines your Thanksgiving prep without compromising the festive flavors you love. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this holiday centerpiece:

Ninja Speedi Turkey And Stuffing

Prepare the Turkey Breast:

Begin by patting your turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning for that classic Thanksgiving flavor. If your turkey breast comes with skin, get some of the seasoning underneath the skin.

Ninja Speedi Turkey And Stuffing Recipe Tips

  • Turkey Preparation: Consider bringing the breast before cooking for a juicy turkey. This can help retain moisture and add flavor. Allow the turkey to rest at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking to ensure more even cooking.
  • Layering: Strategically layer your ingredients in the Ninja Speedi. Please start with the stuffing at the bottom, which will catch the drippings from the turkey placed on top, enriching it with flavor.
  • Stuffing Tips: If you like a crispier top on your stuffing, reserve a portion to spread on top around the turkey in the final minutes of air frying. Mix in a little bit of the turkey drippings before serving for added moisture and flavor to your stuffing.
  • Cooking the Turkey: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) without overcooking. If the turkey breast is browning too quickly during the air frying stage, tent it with aluminum foil.
  • Adding Asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so add it during the last few minutes of air frying to avoid overcooking. Season it and toss it with oil before adding it to the grill plate. Consider sprinkling the asparagus with grated Parmesan or lemon zest for extra flavor before air frying.
  • Utilizing Functions: Familiarize yourself with the functions of the Ninja Speedi. Use the pressure cooking function to cook the turkey and stuffing, then switch to air frying to crisp up the turkey skin and finish the asparagus.
  • Resting the Meat: After cooking, let the turkey breast rest for at least 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute. This results in a more tender and juicy meat.
  • Serving: Serve the turkey, stuffing, and asparagus together for a complete meal, using the asparagus to add a fresh, crisp contrast to the rich flavors of the turkey and stuffing.

Ninja Speedi Turkey And Stuffing Recipe Faqs

Can I cook a whole turkey in the Ninja Speedi? Due to its size, the Ninja Speedi is more suited to cooking a turkey breast or smaller turkey parts. A whole turkey is generally too large unless small enough to fit within the cooking basket.

How long does cooking a turkey breast in the Ninja Speedi take? The cooking time for a turkey breast in the Ninja Speedi depends on the breast size. Typically, it’s around 20 minutes per pound when using the pressure cook function, but you should always use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Do I need to use the pressure cook function for the turkey and stuffing? Yes, using the pressure cook function helps to cook the turkey breast thoroughly and quickly. After pressure cooking, you can use the air fry function to crisp up the skin.

Can I add vegetables to cook alongside the turkey and stuffing? Absolutely! You can add vegetables like asparagus, carrots, or green beans during the last few minutes of the air fry function so they won’t overcook.

How should I season the turkey and stuffing? Season the turkey and stuffing with traditional Thanksgiving herbs and spices, such as sage, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste.

What size turkey breast is best for the Ninja Speedi? It’s best to use a turkey breast that is small enough to fit in the cooking pot of the Ninja Speedi with enough space for proper heat circulation. Typically, a 4-6 pound turkey breast is suitable.

Can the Ninja Speedi brown the turkey skin effectively? Yes, after pressure cooking the turkey, use the air crisp function to achieve a golden-brown and crispy skin.

How do I prevent the stuffing from becoming too soggy? Ensure that the stuffing is not overly moist before cooking. Using day-old bread can help, and the drippings from the turkey will add additional moisture during the cooking process.

Should I let the turkey rest after cooking in the Ninja Speedi? Yes, letting the turkey rest for about 10-15 minutes after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier turkey when carved.

How do I store leftovers from the Ninja Speedi turkey and stuffing? Leftovers should be stored in airtight containers and in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking. They are typically suitable for 3-4 days.
