Turkey Broth
This method will result in a highly concentrated turkey broth. In most cases, for a cup of regular turkey broth you can mix ½ cup of this broth with ½ cup water.
INGREDIENTS | YIELDS ABOUT 3 CUPS
3 pounds bone-in turkey pieces
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
2 large carrots, scrubbed
1 stalk celery
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups water
Add the turkey and onion to the pressure cooker. Cut the carrot and celery each into several pieces; add them. Add the salt, pepper, and water.
Lock the lid into place and bring to low pressure; maintain pressure for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow pressure to release naturally.
Strain, discarding the cooked vegetables. Remove any meat from the bones and save for another use; discard the skin. Cool the broth and refrigerate overnight. Remove and discard the hardened fat.
