Instant Pot TurkeyNeck Soup

Instant Pot TurkeyNeck Soup is something that was a last minute, not thought out Instant Potrecipe that is now going to feature in the Milner house every time that weenjoy roast turkey with all the trimmings.

I last cooked a whole turkey for Christmas 2000 and haven’tcooked one since. It is not because I can’t, or that I am worried about dryturkey syndrome, it is just that Dominic is a chef and it’s his favourite job.

At Christmas he will have the job of the roast turkey and Iwill be in charge of the trimmings.

I will cook the roast potatoes, the homemade stuffing, thepigs in blankets, the gravy, the vegetable bake and of course the roasted parsnips.

Dominic will roast the turkey and help me with the prep, asme doing prep is like watching paint dry.

I am not kidding when I say that I am that slow!

But one part of the kitchen I excel at is using leftoversand making sure we don’t suffer from food waste.

I love using everything up.

So, when Dominic was showing me the size of the turkey neck that he was about to throw in the bin, I was screaming at him to keep it as we can get a lot of use out of it.

5 minutes later it was in the Instant Pot and our Instant Pot Turkey Neck Soup was born.

Instant Pot TurkeyNeck Soup

There is no point sugar coating it, the pictures for ourturkey neck soup in the Instant Pot are far from beautiful.

That is because there was no digital camera coming out, just my Iphone 7. There were no plans about lighting, which were terrible last Christmas Eve and I just took the pictures as it happened and even though the food looks ugly it is as real life as you’re going to get.

The ingredients were prepped and thrown in the Instant Potat the last minute. We were too busy prepping the rest of the Christmas food tocare about how things looked.

But our Instant Pot Turkey Neck Soup tastes delicious and it’sthe turkey neck soup that keeps giving back over and over again.

You see make turkey neck soup with your turkey leftovers andyou have a natural source to add to meals whenever you have a recipe that callsfor chicken or turkey stock.

We packed up our turkey neck soup into freezer containers and loaded them into the freezer once cool.

Then even three months later in March, we could grab some from the freezer and use it in our Instant Pot recipes.

Cooking Turkey NeckSoup In The Instant Pot

This Instant Pot Turkey Neck Soup is perfect for cooking in the Instant Pot. That is because, like the slow cooker, it will cook the turkey neck, until it is completely tender.

And then you can remove the turkey neck meat from the bone and use it as your dream turkey stock.

A bit like the way you claw away at a pork shoulder whenmaking pulled pork.

The Instant Pot we have, that we used to make our Turkey Neck Soup in, is the Instant Pot Duo and you can order it here or read our Instant Pot Review.

You add to theInstant Pot:

• Turkey Neck

Instant Pot TurkeyNeck Soup Vs Instant Pot Turkey Stock

The benefit of our turkey neck soup recipe is that it can bewhat you want it to be. It can be Instant Pot Turkey Neck Soup or add a littlemore liquid to it during the cooking process and it can be Instant Pot TurkeyStock.

Even though I bagged it up into the freezer and called itInstant Pot turkey neck soup, in reality I have used it more as a stock than asoup.

My favourite use (so far) has been to add it to an InstantPot Potato Corn Chowder.
