Save those turkey bones after Thanksgiving. You're 30 minutes away from a steaming bowl of Instant Pot turkey pho that'll warm you straight through. This Vietnamese pho recipe turns leftover turkey into something way better than another sandwich. I crave pho noodles year-round, but especially when the temperature drops. On long trips, by day three I'm hunting down the closest five-star Vietnamese restaurant. Feeling under the weather? A hot bowl of turkey pho noodle soup fixes everything.
