Ingredients

1 turkey carcass 15 lb, most of the meat removed
2 ribs celery roughly chopped
1 carrot roughly chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig sage
1 bay leaf
1 sprig parsley
1 garlic clove whole
1 onion cut in half, skin on
water fill to the maximum fill line or 2 inches below the lid if you don't have a fill line

Instructions

First, start by placing the turkey carcass inside of the instant pot. Remove the trivet for this recipe.
Roughly chop the celery ribs and carrot into large chunks. Cut the onion in half, leaving the skin on.
Add the carrot, celery, rosemary, sage, thyme, bay leaf, parsley, garlic clove, onion and lemon juice to the instant pot.
Fill with water up to the fill line or about 2 inches from the lid if you don’t have a fill line.
Cook on high pressure for 2 hours and allow the instant pot to release all of the pressure naturally which may take up to 1 hour.
Open the lid and remove the inner pot. Strain the broth and reserve the liquid inside of a mason jar or air tight container.
Refrigerate once completely cooled for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes

If freezing inside of a mason jar or glass container, it’s important to leave a few inches of space between the liquid and the lid because the bone broth will expand once frozen which may cause the glass to break if there isn’t enough room. I personally like to freeze mine in ice cube trays to be on the safe side.
It’s normal for there to be a jelly like substance at the top of the broth.
Use turkey carcass broth to make a varieties of soups, stews or just add it into your everyday cooking.
Lemon Juice is used to extract nutrients from the bone. It may also be substituted for apple cider vinegar.
An 8 or 10 qt instant pot will work for this recipe.
