Great way to use up turkey carcass after a holiday. We used the bones from an apple cider smoked turkey breast and it was AMAZING! (Adapted from https://www.dadcooksdinner.com/pressure-cooker-day-thanksgiving-turkey-carcass-soup)
Broth Ingredients (can be made ahead!)
1 carcass from turkey breast/whole turkey, cut up to fit in Instant Pot

1 tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp salt
2 qts turkey carcass broth
