Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup corn (optional, as corn isn't typically keto-friendly but can be used in moderation)
- 1 cup beans (optional, as beans aren't typically keto-friendly but can be used in moderation or substituted with a lower-carb option)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Avocado slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Instant Pot: Set your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function and add the olive oil.
- Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the pot. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook for another minute to let the spices bloom.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, corn, and beans. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook Under Pressure: Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' on high for 10 minutes. Make sure the valve is set to 'Sealing.'
- Release Pressure: Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to 'Venting' to release any remaining pressure.
- Serve: Open the lid and give the chili a good stir. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired.
There you have it—a satisfying, keto-friendly Ground Turkey Chili that's ready in a flash! Perfect for those busy weeknights when you need something quick but delicious. Enjoy!
