NINE DAYS! Only 9 days, 16 hours until I leave for my honeymoon in Maui! As this countdown progresses so do the healthy recipes and sit-ups.? This Instant Pot UN-stuffed turkey peppers recipe by no means NEEDS an Instant Pot to make it, I just love using mine! "UN-stuffing" the peppers was a fun (slightly lazy) spin on the traditional oven baked stuffed pepper. I love eating it this way and I think it's easier to make, so I'm making UN-stuffed the new tradition.
How to make the BEST UN-stuffed Turkey Peppers:
I start by adding a couple tablespoons of olive oil with half of a large diced white onion into the pot and turn on the sauté feature for about 15 minutes. I let the onions sauté on their own for a minute or two, and then add in the ground turkey and minced garlic cloves. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring it often until turkey begins to turn brown, around 8-10 mins. Slice red and green bell peppers in long strips and add them to the pot. Next add in 1 cup of basmati rice, 15oz can of diced tomatoes, 8oz can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of chicken broth, and 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.
Stir until things are evenly distributed then close the lid. Seal the pressure release valve and turn settings to "pressure cook" (on high) for 7 minutes. Once seven minutes is up leave the pressure release valve sealed, it will start doing a natural release of pressure. Let it natural release for about 3 minutes, after that turn the valve to release the remaining pressure and open the lid. It's ready to eat! I started prepping this recipe at 6:00 and it was in my mouth by 6:40! If you want to get a little crazy - add some shredded cheese on top!
Enjoy!

Maybe a dumb question, but do you use cooked or raw Basmati rice?
This sounds like a great/quick alternative to the long process of stuffing peppers individually, same great flavors! 👍

Hi Erica! Not a dumb question! Throw it in raw and it will cook with everything else 🙂

Family loved it! Very easy, with many of the ingredients being those that I always have on hand. Maybe the only change I might make is a little less on the can of tomato paste...but it was a pleaser all around and I will be making it again.
