Let your Instant Pot do all the work and transform leftover turkey into this delicious Instant Pot Turkey & Wild Rice Soup in just minutes.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I’ve had family in town and just been soaking up all the family time I can get (and nursing a sinus infection). I had all the intentions of the world to have this recipe scheduled out months ago. I made this soup back in August (life of a food blogger–we have to cook for the holidays months in advanced to get recipes to our readers in time). So it’s not like I just whipped this recipe up. It’s been done for months–I’ve just been busy and failed to get it scheduled in time. I also made a big pot on Friday morning when I woke up feeling the worst I’ve felt over the past week. First, I made a batch of my Instant Pot Turkey stock, I removed all the carcass bones and fat, then added in my wild rice and diced mushrooms and then let my Instant Pot do it’s magic.
Don’t worry–if your not planning to make your stock from scratch in the Instant Pot I have the full recipe from scratch below (like chopping the veggies and cooking them and such). My husband and I LOVED this recipe. We loved it the first time I made it in August and loved it on Friday as we slurped up bowl and bowl the past few days.
This is a gluten-free, dairy-free recipe as long as the stock your using is gluten free. Wild rice is naturally gluten free and of course all the veggies fit both categories too. You don’t miss any dairy in this recipe and the rice gives it a hint of a creamy texture.
If your looking for a quick and easy soup and a great way to use up some turkey leftovers–my recipe for Instant Pot Turkey & Wild Rice soup is the soup for you to make!
Instant Pot Turkey & Wild Rice Soup
Ingredients
- 10 cups prepared turkey stock
- 2 cups cooked turkey meat diced
- 4 carrots diced
- 4 celery stalks diced
- 1 onion diced
- 1 cup white mushrooms diced
- 1 cup Wild Rice
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Pour the turkey stock into the Instant Pot. Then place the diced turkey meat, carrots, celery, onion, and white mushrooms in the pot. Add in the wild rice, salt, black pepper, and parsley flakes. Stir well then seal the lid. Make sure the valve is set to “sealing”.

Does this recipe use all wild rice or the wild and long grain blend? The picture looks like the blend, but the recipe simply states wild rice.
Thank you!
Katie
Hi Danette, you can use whichever you have on hand! I’ve used both the blend and straight wild rice and it’s turned out excellent.

Is 5 minutes the right cooking time ?
Katie
Hi Harold, yes it is. If you are familiar with cooking in the Instant Pot it will take about 5 minutes to come to pressure then another 5 minutes to cook. The turkey is already cooked so you are basically cooking the wile rice and vegetables! Hope that helps.
