Instant Pot Turkey Bone Broth

I have a go-to turkey bone broth that I use every year with my turkey carcass. It is generic in flavor because I use it for various soups, rice, and sauces. This year I decided to use the carcass strictly for sipping broth and it was the most flavorful gelatinous broth I've ever made. A perfect pick-me-up for cuddling under a blanket with a book or working on a sewing project.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings servings

  • 1 carcass from a 10-pound turkey

  • 12 cups water

  • 4 chicken bouillon cubes

  • 2 stalks celery, cut into 3-inch pieces

  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered

  • 1 small bunch fresh parsley

  • 5 fresh thyme sprigs

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

Directions

  1. Combine turkey carcass, water, bouillon cubes, celery, onion, parsley, thyme, cider vinegar, and peppercorns in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®)

  2. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 90 minutes. Allow 30 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes, then release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  4. Remove larger pieces and discard. Strain remaining solids through a fine mesh colander, reserving the broth; allow to cool.

Cook's Note:

Store strained broth in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze. To serve, pour 1 cup broth into a microwave-safe cup. Microwave on high until hot, about 2 1/2 minutes.
