Instant Pot Turkey Soup
Instant Pot Turkey Soup is delicious and fresh tasting using leftover turkey meat and rich turkey broth.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
- 2 ribs Celery, chopped
- 3 Carrots, chopped
- 4 cups Leftover Turkey Meat, cubed
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary (leaves stripped and minced)
- 1 ½ teaspoons Dry Rubbed Sage
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 5 cups Turkey Broth or Stock
- 2 cups Uncooked Egg Noodles
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics
- Turn on the Sauté setting. When hot, add the oil, onion, carrots, celery, and bay leaf. Stir and cook until the vegetables just start to soften.
- Add the garlic and sauté for about 45 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Add the rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, turkey broth, and cubed turkey meat to the pot. Stir and close the lid. Seal the vent.
Pressure Cook
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 4 minutes. High Pressure. The pot will take several minutes to come to pressure.
Natural Release
- When the cook cycle has ended, turn off the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 10 minutes (10 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining steam/pressure (you might need to release the steam in bursts until you are sure no liquid comes out with the steam).
- When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid.
Cook the Noodles in the Soup
- Turn on the Sauté setting. Then add the egg noodles and cook them just until al dente, or to your liking.
- Taste and adjust salt, if needed.
Serve
- Serve hot.

Frozen Vegetables
If you don't have fresh veggies you can use frozen veggies. Just add them after pressure cooking, after the noodles have cooked, and let them cook in the residual heat. If you like them softer, add with the noodles.Sodium
Low sodium broth will take the sodium level down to approx. 300mg, depending on the brand, etc.Nutrition
