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 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoon 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
- Including jalapeños are optional. Swap out for a milder or spicer pepper depending on your preferences.
- Adjust the type of beans (black or white beans) you use depending on your preferences.
- Customize your chili with your favorite toppings: sour cream, green onions, cheddar cheese, red onion, or fresh cilantro.
