I made this a couple of days ago, it came out perfectly, I am retired, single, & live alone, so I only used 3 potatoes in the bottom pan & a half cup of water, made the turkey meatloaf per instructions, next time I want to add some vegetables, I did not put the lid on the top. I used the potato water to make gravy. I slice the loaf to make sandwiches for my lunches. I will make this again & again

In reply to Mary Frances. How do you know meatloaf was uncooked - bloody or thermometer temperature low? How did you check? You can always add a few extra minutes next time, won't hurt. But depends how uncooked it was.

This saved me last night when I was in a huge rush to make dinner, no time to make what I’d planned. I confess I was skeptical about the recipe but – terrific. I used the foil method, it worked well.
I’m also wondering why I bother making meat loaf in the oven? Instant pot method comes out looking a bit pallid, but brushing on a glaze solves that.

In reply to Mary Fieber. Hi Mary. I think your Instant Pot never came to pressure properly, so the water boiled for a while and food was cooked during that time with steam but not pressure cooked. Either forgot to turn valve to Sealing or your silicone ring needs replacement. Also next time I would wait and make sure pin pops up and it seals and count down begins so then you will know that was the issue. I have this Instant Pot troubleshooting guide that you might helpful. Good luck next time!

I followed the recipe/cooking instructions exactly and after 25min at high pressure the meatloaf was barely cooked in the center and the potatoes were quite firm. I let both pans sit covered hoping the meat temp would rise and the potatoes would continue cooking. No luck with either pan so I popped them back into the IP and tried another 3 min at high pressure. The potatoes were better but it took 2 more tries (3 min each) to get the ground turkey even to 140 degrees. I did see that an earlier poster had very little steam released and I also had surprisingly little steam. Your suggestions/thoughts?
