Instant Pot Turkey Bone Broth

This instant pot turkey bone broth is an amazing way to use all of your turkey! This bone broth is amazingly delicious and nutritious!

I cut up the vegetables for this instant pot turkey bone broth as part of my Thanksgiving preparation. This way, after removing the meat from the turkey, I can use the rest and make my bone broth that same day. It means not having to take up freezer space for the turkey bones and there are so many Thanksgiving leftover dishes this bone broth can be used in!

Let’s talk about the ingredients in our bone broth!

The base for our bone broth is the carcass of a cooked turkey. I usually buy big turkeys, so I had a large carcass to add to my bone broth. I also add some of extra skin. There will be pieces of meat on the bones as well which add even more flavor to our broth. We add water and apple cider vinegar to the bones. The vinegar helps break down the bones and helps to extract the nutrients from the bones and marrow. We then add carrots, celery, garlic, onion, and turmeric. I love the extra nutrition and color the turmeric gives this broth. I often use fresh vegetables for my bone broth. But I also like to save up my extra vegetable scraps, freeze them, and use them for my bone broth. The only seasoning our broth needs is some coarse salt and peppercorns!

Is this instant pot turkey bone broth difficult to make?

This is an easy broth to make, but there are a few things you can do so yours turns out perfectly every time. First, if you’re using a large turkey carcass, you may need to break it to make all the bones fit in the instant pot. Next, I recommend letting your bones set in the water and apple cider vinegar for 20-30 minutes before cooking your broth. If you’d like, you can also add some fresh herbs to your broth to give it even more flavor! Once your broth is done cooking, you’ll want to discard all the solids. I used a large fine mesh sieve to strain my broth and worked in batches until it was all strained. If you use fresh herbs, you may want to strain your broth twice if you want to remove all the small pieces of herbs.

How can I serve this instant pot turkey bone broth?

We love bone broth so much we call it our liquid gold!😊It is absolutely delicious heated up and served as is in a mug! You can use this turkey bone broth in any dish that calls for broth. Some great ideas are to add it to keto soups or stews. It can also be added to casseroles and sauces or even to cook your vegetables in! You can use this bone broth to make some amazing keto gravy as well. One good thing to know about this broth, is that after refrigerating it, it will form a layer of fat on the top and the rest of the broth will turn thick and gelatinous. This is completely normal. Once you heat the broth, it will quickly turn back into a liquid.
