21 Day Fix Instant Pot Turkey Chili

21 Day Fix Instant Pot Turkey Chili

It’s getting a little bit chill-y here (I had to!!!) and my slow cooker is putting in work these days.  I recently made apple “butter” and when I came home from work, it smelled like Thanksgiving was finally here.  Unfortunately, the *delicious* apple butter was not even close to being fix-friendly, so I dished most of it up (I froze some for my future self) and handed it out to my coworkers.  Those lucky guys 😉 So I have returned to my nutritional plans, and made this 21 Day Fix Instant Pot Turkey Chili to stay focused…and warm.

I love chili, and what I really, really love about it is the spice.  My husband, on the other hand, will not touch anything that is remotely “hot.” #srirachasorrows

But, that’s the beauty of this dish.  I keep it mild and garnish with fresh jalapenos a low-sodium, fix-approved hot sauce.  So at the end of the night, everyone is happy…and full 🙂

This is my favorite instant pot because of its versatility.

21 Day Fix Instant Pot Chili

 

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 Onion, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 lbs lean ground turkey

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups prepared Great Northern beans, or Navy beans 

2 15 oz cans diced tomatoes

1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into bite size chunks

1 4 oz can of green chiles

1 1/2 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp chile powder

salt and pepper to taste

cilantro, for garnish (optional)

plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Turn Instant Pot on to the Saute’ feature.

Add olive oil and onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic, stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add ground turkey and brown until cooked through.  If the turkey isn’t very lean and you have a lot of grease, you may strain it and return it back to the pot.  This is optional. 

Add chicken broth (I like to use bone broth for extra nutrients), beans, tomatoes, squash, chiles, cumin, chile powder, salt & pepper.  Stir to combine.

Cover and turn the Instant Pot on to the Slow Cooker function.  Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours.

Serve topped with cilantro and plain yogurt or sour cream.  

Notes

This Chili can also be made on the stove top or in the crock pot.  

Stove top directions~ Saute’ onions, garlic, turkey.  Add the rest of the ingredients except cilantro and yogurt. Simmer for at least 30 minutes.

Crock Pot directions~ Saute’ onions, garlic and turkey in a skillet on the stove. Transfer to Crock Pot, add the rest of the ingredients (except cilantro and yogurt), cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4 hour

Hi Polly, nice share. I like your instant pot Turkey chili recipe. It’s a good recipe. I’m looking forward to giving it a try. I really like the nice images as well.

If I didn’t want to use the IP on slow cooker, any suggestions as to settings/time? Looks yummy!

I’m waiting for IP directions too😜

I meant a thumbs up not exhausted face😉

I would like to know the IP timing as well please?

I needed a quick dinner, high in protein and veggies, so I used your recipe sans the squash and beans (no yellows left today 😭). I didn’t start it in time to slow cook, so I used the preset “chili” button on my IP, and it dialed up 30 minutes. Meat was perfectly tender. Not sure if that woudl make the “yellows” mushy, but 30 min worked for the meat version. Thanks for the recioe! I look forward to trying it with thr carbs!

Please excuse the typos! 😳 Can’t edit.

Hi! Looks great… what is the serving size?
