Ingredients

leftover turkey meat/carcass/bones use whatever you have on hand, whether it be 1 or 2 drumsticks, etc

OR:

1 raw turkey leg quarter about 2 lbs seasoned lightly with salt
1 C long-grained white Jasmine rice rinsed
6-8 C water or poultry broth depending on your desired consistency
1 inch fresh ginger peeled and sliced
½ tablespoon sea salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

For serving:

toasted sesame oil
additional ground white pepper
green onions chopped
fried Chinese long donut sliced

Instructions

Make the turkey congee:

Place the cooked turkey carcass with the meat and bones (or raw turkey leg quarter) into the Instant Pot.
Add in 1 cup of rice and cover with 6-8 cups water or poultry broth.
Add in ginger slices and give it a stir.
Cover with the lid and ensure the steam valve is set to SEAL.
Press the PORRIDGE function (or manually set to HIGH PRESSURE for 20 minutes). Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure without releasing the steam valve.
When the steam float valve has dropped, you can open the lid.
Carefully remove the turkey bones and meat from the Instant Pot. Using tongs or two forks, remove the turkey meat from the bones, shred the meat and return to the pot.
Stir the congee and season with salt and white pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
Tip: If the consistency is too thick, add more water to thin it out. If the consistency is too thin, press the SAUTE function and let the congee boil for a few minutes, until to your desired consistency. Turn the Instant Pot off.

Serve:

Ladle congee into bowls and serve with extra turkey meat, a drizzle of sesame oil, white pepper, chopped green onions and fried Chinese long donut, if desired.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Note: If the consistency is too thick, add more water to thin it out. If the consistency is too thin, press the SAUTE function and let the congee boil for a few minutes, until to your desired consistency.
