Best 6 Pressure Cooker Turkey Stock For Gravy Recipes

INSTANT POT TURKEY STOCK

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.

INSTANT POT TURKEY GRAVY

Steps:

• Add the butter to a 6-quart Instant Pot® and set to saute on high (see Cook's Note). Melt the butter completely, then add the flour and whisk to combine until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the roux is the color of peanut butter, 5 to 8 minutes. Slowly whisk in the warmed stock and bring to a simmer, whisking, until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot or cool down completely and store tightly covered in the fridge.
• When you're ready to serve, reheat the gravy over medium heat. If you have pan drippings from roasting a bird that you want to use, whisk them in when reheating the gravy. If the gravy is too thick, thin to the desired consistency with additional turkey stock.

INSTANT POT® TURKEY STOCK

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.

TURKEY STOCK (PRESSURE COOKER)

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.

PRESSURE-COOKER TURKEY STOCK FOR GRAVY

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.

TURKEY GIBLET STOCK

Steps:

• Pat neck and giblets dry. Heat oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown neck and giblets, 10 to 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, until neck and giblets are very tender, about 3 hours. Pour stock through a large fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving gizzard and heart for gravy if desired but discarding remaining solids. If using broth right away, let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat.
• If stock measures less than 4 cups, add water. If more, boil, uncovered, in clean pot until reduced to 4 cups.
• If not using stock right away, cool completely, uncovered, then chill, covered, before skimming fat (it will be easier to remove when cool or cold).
• Pressure cooker option:
• Brown neck and giblets in a 6-quart pressure cooker, uncovered, according to procedure above. Reduce amount of water from 10 cups to 5 cups but keep remaining ingredients the same. Add remaining ingredients, seal pressure cooker with lid, and cook at high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, 45 minutes. Put pressure cooker in sink (do not remove lid) and run cold water over lid until pressure goes down completely. Remove lid, then strain and measure stock according to procedure above.
