Ingredients
- whole turkey carcass and leftover bones from a cooked turkey It's fine if the bones have meat and skin.
- water Enough to fill to the max line of your Instant Pot or slow cooker. I use filtered water.
- 1 cup chopped onions Loosely chopped
- 1 cup celery Loosely chopped
- 2 fresh garlic cloves whole or minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Instant Pot
- Add all of the ingredients to the Instant Pot.
- Fill the water to the max line of the pot.
- Pressure cook for 2 hours, 4 hours is optimal.
- When the pot indicates it has finished, allow the steam to release naturally, at least 30 minutes and then release the steam.
- Place a mesh strainer over a large bowl. Open the pot and strain the bones and scraps over the bowl to catch the broth.
- Store the broth.
Slow Cooker
- Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker.
- Fill the water to the top of the pot.
- Cook for 12-18 hours on Low.
- Place a mesh strainer over a large bowl. Open the pot and strain the bones and scraps over the bowl to catch the broth.
- Store the broth.
Notes
If you want the broth to gel up you will need to add 4 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar in along with all of the ingredients.
You can also re-use the bones, carcass, and scraps to make another batch of broth. With turkey, I usually find the second batch is equal quality to the first.
