cooking spray
1 leftover turkey carcass
2 stalks celery, cut into chunks
1 medium carrot, cut into chunks
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
¼ cup apple cider vinegar

  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Combine celery, carrot, onion, and vinegar in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add the roasted turkey bones and any liquid.

Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, in short bursts, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove solids and discard.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole turkey, trimmed, innards reserved
Sea salt, as needed
20 cups water, or as needed to cover ingredients
2 onions, peeled and chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons apple cider, white, or white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Remove the breasts, thighs, and wings from the turkey carcass. Spread the turkey parts out in an even layer on a large baking sheet, along with the neck and any innards that came with the turkey. Dust everything with sea salt and place in the preheated oven. Roast until golden brown, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer everything from the baking sheet to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Cover with the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium. Skim off the fat and scum that rises to the top and discard; this process takes about 1 hour. Add vinegar, peppercorns, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Continue to simmer for 8 hours, adding water as necessary just to keep the bones covered. Add vegetables in the last 5 hours of cooking.
  • Gently strain or ladle the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a container. Fill your sink with ice water. Place the container of broth in the ice bath to cool for 1 hour. Use the broth right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 year.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Turkey Bones: Use a combination of dark and light meat bones for a flavorful broth. Opt for organic or free-range turkey bones for the best quality.
  • Roast the Bones: Roasting the bones before simmering enhances their flavor and adds a beautiful golden color to the broth. Roast at 425°F for 30-45 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Incorporate a mix of vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. These add depth and complexity to the broth.
  • Simmer for at Least 12 Hours: Allow the broth to simmer for an extended period, ideally for 12-24 hours, to extract maximum flavor and nutrients from the bones and vegetables.
  • Strain and Store: Once the broth is done simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids. Store the broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze it for longer storage.

Conclusion:

Turkey bone broth is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile ingredient that can enhance the flavor of various dishes. Whether you use it as a base for soups and stews, a braising liquid for meats, or simply sip it as a nourishing drink, turkey bone broth offers a multitude of culinary and health benefits.
