 Be sure two turkey drumsticks will fit into you r cooker.  There's no harm if t
 he end of the bone touches the lid of the cooker, as long as it doesn't block t
 he vent.
 
 Heat the oil in the cooker and saute the garlic for 10 seconds.  add the tomato
 es, potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, oregano, rosemary, bay leaf, 
 orange zest, and salt.  Stand the two drumsticks, meaty side down, in the soup.
 
 Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure.  Adjust the he
 at to maintain high pressure and cook for 12 minutes.  Let the pressure drop na
 turally or use a quick release method.  Remove the lid, tilting it away from yo
 u to allow any excess steam to escape.
 
 Remove the drumsticks and cut the meat from the bone.  Cut the meat into 1 inch
  chunks and return it to the pot.  Discard the bones (or reserve them for stock
 ).  Stir in the green beans, corn, and parsley, and cook over medium heat until
  the vegetables are cooked, about 3 to 5 minutes.  Remove the orange zest and b
 ay leaf and add salt and pepper to taste.
