How Do I Make Turkey Rice Soup in the Instant Pot?

  1. Chop cooked turkey into small bite sized pieces,  and set aside. Use light or dark meat, whichever you prefer (I used both).
  2. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode, and add the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until translucent. Add in the carrots and onion and cook for 3 minutes more.
  3. Add the cooked turkey, vegetable stock, bay leaves, herbs de Provence, uncooked rice, salt, and pepper.  Set Instant Pot to ‘Pressure Cook/Manual Mode’ for 10 minutes.
  4. Once the timer has finished, allow the soup to naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick release the remaining pressure.
  5. Remove bay leaves from soup pot, and stir in the fresh parsley. Enjoy!
