Instant Pot Turkey Chili

Step 1

Set a pressure cooker or Instant Pot to the normal sauté setting. Let it heat before adding the olive oil. Once heated add 2 Tablespoons olive oil and let the oil heat for about 20 seconds making sure the oil is covering the whole bottom of the Instant Pot.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey to the Instant Pot along with a dash of salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes not stirring it {you want to create a layer of browning on the meat}. Use a large wooden spoon to break apart the turkey and continue to sauté until the turkey is browned, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the fat from the ground turkey and set aside in a bowl {there won't be much fat with the turkey since it is pretty lean}. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoons olive oil to the Insta Pot on the sauté mode still.

Step 4

Add the garlic and onion and cook for 1 minute. Add the bell pepper, jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper and continue to sauté until the bell pepper is tender, about 2 to 3 minutes and the spices start to release their fragrance.

Step 5

Add 1/2 of a cup of the chicken broth to help deglze your pot and allow all the food to release from the bottom of the pot. Use your spoon to deglaze the pan by scraping away all of the browned bits of food.

Step 6

Add the ground turkey, beans, remaining 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and corn in that order {DO NOT MIX} and seal the pot. Cancel the sauté function.

Step 7

Close lid and pressure cook on Manual at High Pressure for 5 minutes, followed by quick release when time is up. Turn off your Instant Pot and carefully open your lid.

Step 8

Stir in fresh cilantro and a dash of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite garnishes like sour cream, cheese, cilantro and crushed chips.
