Healthy Instant Pot Turkey Chili

This healthy but hearty turkey chili is one of my favorite cozy comfort foods. It has enough spice to heat up your taste buds, but not enough to hurt their feelings (comfortably between mild and medium ?). OH, and it’s Instant Pot friendly.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot's setting to sauté and begin with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add a diced onion, carrot, minced garlic and jalapeño. Allow the onion, carrot garlic and jalapeño to sauté for a minute or 2.
  • Then add in your ground turkey (or whatever protein you'd like). Cook until browned and continually stir to cook the protein evenly.
  • Take whole tomatoes in a separate bowl and carefully (they explode lol) squeeze by hand (I know what you're thinking, but it's different than crushed tomatoes! I swear).
  • Next, add in the whole squeezed tomatoes, crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to your Instant pot and stir.
  • Follow that with chicken broth, water, taco seasoning, chili powder, dried parsley, and crushed red pepper (also a little cayenne if you have some).
  • Switch Instant Pot settings to Bean|Chili, add beans and close lid and cook for 20 minutes. I released the pressure manually, but doing a natural pressure release would work too. It's ready! Now just add your favorite toppings!
