Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon chili powder mild to hot
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper diced and seeds removed
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 cup celery diced
  • 24 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can pinto beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup water
  • Shredded cheese, sour cream, chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Turn on sauté mode on the Instant Pot. Heat the oil in the pot, then add the turkey. Crumble the turkey with a spatula as it cooks. Once the turkey is browned, mix in the chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  • Add in the peppers, onion, and celery. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on low heat, to soften the veggies.
  • Add in the crushed tomatoes, pinto beans, tomato paste, and water. Scrap any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
  • Lock the lid and set the vent to sealing, if necessary. Press the pressure cook or manual button and set to cook for 15 minutes on high pressure.
  • When done, do a quick release of the pressure. Stir to incorporate everything. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • If you like a soupier, not so thick chili, you can add an additional 1/2 cup water or broth to loosen it up.
