Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb ground turkey
1 cup any stock or broth (low sodium)
1 large onion (diced)
3 large garlic cloves (minced)
1 bell pepper (diced)
1 1/2 cups corn (canned or frozen)
14 oz can low sodium red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
14 oz can low sodium cannellini or navy beans (rinsed and drained)
14 oz can low sodium pinto beans or black eyed peas (rinsed and drained)
2 tbsp chili powder (makes mild, 3 tbsp for spicy)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano (dried)
1/2 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp salt
28 oz can diced tomatoes (low sodium)
6 oz can tomato paste (low sodium)
Avocado oil
Green onion (cilantro, cheese, plain yogurt (for toppings))

Steps:

  • On 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot, press Sauté and let appliance preheat until display says Hot.
  • Swirl a bit of oil to coat, add ground turkey and cook for 4 minutes, breaking into small pieces with spatula often. Meat doesn't have to cook through.
  • If you see bottom of the pot has stuck browned bits of meat, add 1/2 cup broth and deglaze the pot. If not - then it's fine. My 6 quart Instant Pot runs hotter than 8 quart.
  • Press Cancel and add remaining 1/2 cup (if deglazed) or 1 cup broth.
  • Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, corn, beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Do not stir to avoid Burn.
  • Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cook on High or Manual for 15 minutes.
  • After release pressure using Quick Release by turning pressure valve to Venting position, which takes 2-3 minutes. Open the lid, stir and serve hot with your favourite toppings.

INSTANT POT® TURKEY CHILI

It doesn't get easier than this! Brown some meat, then toss in the rest of the ingredients and hit start! Feel free to adjust the heat level by adding more chipotle peppers and/or adobo sauce. The cocoa powder and cinnamon are ideas I got from my favorite chili seasoning available at a local spice shop - they really transform the dish! I like to top this with sour cream, green onion and shredded smoked cheddar.
