25 Minute Instant Pot Turkey Chilli

I detest having to read though paragraph after paragraph about how so and so’s brothers, cousins, ex-wifes aunt passed on the recipe sworn to secrecy they wouldn’t share or the whirlwind of a grocery shop the writer had to go through just to get to the recipe. Oh and the countless ads that get in the way!? Heck no.

So. here it is. My 25 minute instant pot turkey chilli recipe Sans BS

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium Onion, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 lbs lean ground turkey

2 cups chicken broth

1 Can Navy Beans (rinsed)

1 Can Red Kidney Beans (rinsed)

1 28oz can diced tomatoes

1 Jalapeno pepper (deseeded & chopped) you can also use canned, chop up about 4 tbsp

1 1/2 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp chile powder

salt and pepper to taste

2 cups old cheddar cheese shredded

cilantro, for garnish (optional but I highly recommend it)

Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for the topper (optional but its not the same without it)

How to make the damn thing:

Turn your instant pot on using the saute function – Add Olive Oil

Saute onions until translucent (approx 4-5min)

Add Garlic – stir until it smells delish

Add Ground turkey & brown until cooked through. Most turkey is quite lean but if you are cooking defrosted turkey or a fattier turkey you may need to drain to really get it browned (browning makes things taste way better btw)

Add Chicken broth, beans, tomatoes, jalapenos, cumin, chile poder, salt & pepper. Stir that baby together like you mean it.

Place cover on & lock into place. Make sure your steam valve is closed. Choose manual for 25 minutes. Once done, I usually just let it naturally release for approximately 2 minutes and then I open the valve (just be super careful to not burn yourself… Also, I warned you so no liability over here!)

Okay well I technically lied – it’s not really a 25 minute chilli. Its more like a 38.5 minute chilli if you want to get technical with prep time. But hey – It’s quicker than leaving your slow cooker on for 8 hours.

Serve in bowls sprinkled with a generous amount of cheese, a dollop (I love that word) of plain greek yogurt or sour cream & sprinkle with cilantro.

Keeping it healthier? Go easy on the cheese & opt for the greek yogurt instead

ENJOY!
