Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeno* seeded and minced
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 cans Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chiles 4 (10 ounce) cans
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 15 ounces kidney beans (1 can), drained
  • 15 ounces pinto beans (1 can), drained
  • ½ Tablespoon ground cumin
  • ½ Tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ Tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  • Saute. Allow your Instant Pot to heat up for a minute or so on the "saute" function. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat for a few seconds before adding the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Brown the turkey. Add the ground turkey and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go, for 5-7 minutes or until browned on all sides.
  • Load the instant pot. Stir the Rotel, chicken stock, kidney beans, pinto beans, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and bay leaves into the turkey.
  • Cook. Seal the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release before opening the instant pot.
  • Season. Give the chili a stir and a taste. Season with extra salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

The jalapeno is optional. You can leave it out or swap it for a milder (or spicier) pepper. 
You can change up the type of cans of beans you use if you prefer using black beans or white beans.
