Turkey Stock Pressure Cooker Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a 6-quart Instant Pot® using the saute setting on high (see Cook's Note). Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and brown your turkey pieces in batches, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add all the browned turkey pieces back to the pot along with the garlic, celery, carrot, onion, sage, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, peppercorns, 2 quarts water and 2 teaspoons salt.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high 45 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer and skim any fat off the top before using.

Steps:

• If you want to roast the bones first, heat the oven to 450ºF. Lay the bones out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until well browned, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Put the bones (roasted or not) in the pressure cooker pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover with 3 to 3 1/2 quarts of water (the water shouldn't come more than two-thirds of the way up the side of the pot). To make regular stock, cook on high pressure for 1 hour if using all chicken or poultry bones, or 2 hours for beef or pork bones or a combination of poultry and meat. For bone broth, cook on high pressure for 3 hours for poultry bones, and 4 1/2 hours for beef, pork, or mixed bones. When making bone broth, you'll know you've cooked it long enough if all the connective tissue, tendons, and cartilage have dissolved and the bones crumble a bit when you poke at them. If this hasn't happened, cook it on high pressure for another 30 minutes and check it again.
• Allow the pressure to release naturally. Use the broth or stock right away, or store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Bone broth and regular stock will keep for 5 days refrigerated or up to 6 months frozen.

Steps:

• Combine turkey carcass, onion, carrots, celery, and water in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes.
• Pour liquid through a strainer and discard all solids. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Skim fat from the top and discard. Use stock within 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Wrap the carcass in a clean dampened towel and pound with a meat mallet to break apart bones. (I just jammed mine in the pressure cooker).
• Place all ingredients in a large pressure cooker and cover with water. Lock lid in place. Bring to 15 psi over high heat. Immediately reduce heat to lowest possible setting to stabilize and maintain pressure. Cook for 35 minutes.
• Use the natural release method to depressurize (remove pot from heat, wait for pressure to drop before opening lid). Strain stock, discard the vegetables. Pick meat off bones, if desired, and reserve for another use. Use stock right away or chill overnight and skim fat off top before using or freezing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut turkey backbone and breastbone into pieces. Place backbone and breastbone pieces, wing tips, neck, and giblets in a roasting pan. Sprinkle with milk powder, if using, and toss to coat. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until turkey pieces are dark golden brown, 40-50 minutes.
• Transfer turkey pieces to pressure cooker. Add carrot, onion, and 9 cups water. Seal pressure cooker according to manufacturer's instructions and cook on high pressure 1 1/2 hours. Manually release pressure and let cool 30 minutes.
• Pour turkey stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, gently but firmly pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
