Don’t throw those turkey bones away! Keep them to make this nearly zero effort Instant Pot Turkey Stock recipe. The result is delicious, rich, collagen-filled, jiggly and incredibly nutritious stock that can be used to make awesome soups and stews, rice and so much more!
This turkey stock isn’t as clear as a stock cooked low and slow on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. Because the Instant Pot is a pretty aggressive way to cook, it pulverizes the bones, so you end with cloudier stock. However, there’s a way to cheat some of that, too—keep reading to find out how!
1. If you have raw parts (such as neck or back), start by searing them on the Saute setting. We just need these pieces to get a nice sear. If the pan gets too hot and the turkey pieces begin to burn, you can throw some of the aromatics in there because they will create some moisture and will make sure nothing burns.
2. Once they have browned, layer in the rest of leftover bones you have. Also, add in the vegetables and the herbs. Squeeze everything in there—the pot will be very full.
