Ingredients

  • 1 Turkey Carcass Meat Removed
  • 1 Onion Quartered
  • 2 Carrots Cut into chunks
  • 2 Celery Stalks
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Peppercorns Whole
  • 2 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 8 cups Water Or enough to cover the bones.

Instructions

  • Break up the turkey carcass so it fits into your Instant Pot.
  • Add your quartered onion, chunked carrots, chunked celery, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and parsley to the Instant Pot.
  • Add enough water to cover the bones and veggies, about 8 cups. Then add in your apple cider vinegar.
  • Close the lid and set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 90 minutes.
  • Once the cooking time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 20-30 minutes. Don't manually release the pressure.
  • Carefully strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or container. Get rid of the bones and the veggies and ladle the broth into airtight containers or use it immediately.

Notes

  • Each Instant Pot has a line that is the max fill line.  Do not add more water than the max fill line.  
  • Make sure to natural release the pressure.  This allows the broth to cook a little more but it also keeps the broth from splattering all over your kitchen.  Been there, done that!
