Make-Ahead Turkey Gravy

If you like the recipes I've saved, feel free to follow me. I love cast iron- restoring, collecting and using it, so I actively look for recipes that utilize cast iron in the preparation (though of course you don't really need special recipes for cast iron). I also love my Instant Pot pressure cooker, so I look for recipes specific to that as well. I'm a huge fan of skinnytaste.com, so I frequently add those as well.

The beauty of this recipe is that it can be made weeks in advance and frozen long before you've brought home your holiday bird. You can substitute nine turkey wings, separated at the joints, for the turkey thighs in this recipe. Other things to note:
Broth, prepared through step 2, can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month; if frozen, thaw completely in refrigerator before continuing with step 3.
Alternatively, gravy can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; to reheat, bring to gentle simmer, adjusting consistency with hot water as needed.
Cook time is 30 active minutes, but total time is four hours.
