Do I Stay or Do I Go

When we cook a turkey dinner, a couple times a year, I am always wondering do I keep the carcass to make broth, or do I compost it. It’s a dilemma faced by many of us, or so I’m told, as to whether the carcass stays or whether it goes?!

In the end for me it comes down to time and how much time I will have available in the coming weeks since making stock can take several hours on the stove. Or at least it use to.

While I am neither for or against keeping the bones, I swing both ways depending on my mood. Some days I keep the carcass, other times I freeze that bad boy with good intentions, and there are days I’ve let him go fly into the compost and be done with it. No guilt whatsoever. This battle has been going on for 30 years that I’ve been roasting turkey and making stock.

New Instant Pot Blasts Out Turkey Stock

Having received a new Instant Pot for Christmas, I was more than willing to keep the carcass, and freeze it, until I had time to try turkey stock in my new small appliance. When the opportunity presented itself, it was only a matter of pulling out some leftover herbs, carrots, celery, onion and the frozen carcass. I had a couple wings leftover from the dinner so I gave them a chop or two and tossed them into the pot.

Sixty minutes later plus some time for the pressure to release and I’d suddenly made the best turkey stock I have quite possibly ever produced. Using the same recipe I tend to use when making stock in a pot on the stove. After this pleasant experience I feel the future of my new Instant Pot holds many more stock making sessions.

Pro Tips

Tip: Chop up the carcass into smaller pieces. If freezing it will be much easier to fit into freezer bags. When stock making it will be easier to make stock in a pot on the stove or Instant Pot.

Tip: Do not add salt. You can salt all you like when you use the stock. It doesn’t need the salt until the stock is going to be used. Just like buying salt free stock in a box at the store!

Ingredients
  • 1 turkey carcass cut into 4 pieces
  • ½ onion, rough chop
  • 1 celery stalk, rough chop
  • 1 carrot, rough chop
  • 2 sprigs parsley
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 5 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, lightly smashe
  • ½ tsp peppercorns
  • 10 cups water or fill to line
Instructions
  1. Place carcass in Instant Pot.
  2. Add onion through peppercorns.
  3. Fill with water until the max line or approximately 10 cups.
  4. Put the lid on Instant Pot, make sure valve is set to sealing.
  5. Set to pressure cook for 60 minutes. The pot will take a few minutes to pressurize and it will be so eerily quiet you will wonder if it's working. As long as you have it plugged in and turned on it should be fine.
  6. Once the 60 minutes is up the pressure will start to release slowly. I didn't need to do a quick release and let it release on it's own for about 30-60 minutes as I had time. By then it was cool, pin had dropped and there was no pressure left.
  7. Prepare a large bowl with a strainer set over top. Remove the pot (with oven mitts if necessary) and poor the ingredients through the strainer into the bowl. The goods were still steaming a little so I set them aside to cool down before I composted.
  8. I let the broth cool down before pouring into freezable containers. If using right away mason jars are perfectly fine.
  9. This stock sets up nicely in the refrigerator thickening and forming a little jelly. Skim off fat before using.
  10. This recipe was made using a 6-quart Instant Pot.

  • This Cherry Kiss Hot Chocolate is from @eatdrinkblock and available for #YYCHotChocolateFest!
.
In the first photo the incredibly tasty booze soaked cherries fell in to the hot tub aka hot chocolate. The second photo shows the cherries pre-hot tub.
.
The hot chocolate is missing the marshmallow as they apparently ran out of marshmallows. Hopefully this means they are selling lots of hot cocoa for @yychotchocolatefest!
.
Try this beverage with or without alcohol and partial proceeds go to Calgary Meals on Wheels.

  • Cooking from @donna.hay's #moderncooking #cookbook this month.
.
Made these Burnt Butter and Salted Maple Sticky Buns for the #rainydaybitescookbookclub challenge. Admittedly I took the photo before adding the salt (whoops)! The dough is easy to work with and I let both rises go longer than advised.
.
The glaze for these buns goes both on the bottom and again poured over the buns when they come out of the oven hot. My family loved them and ate most of them as they were a little on the sweet side for me.
.
Lots joining in on this challenge today. Follow the hashtag, #rainydaybitescookbookclub to see everyone's photos for todays challenge!
