Servings: 6
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds ground turkey (I used thigh)
- 1 red pepper chopped
- 1 (15 fluid ounce) can red kidney beans drained
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 (28 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon paprika (smoked works too!)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste (optional)
- 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Add the onion and olive oil to your Instant Pot and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the turkey to the Instant Pot and cook it for a few minutes, breaking it up with your spoon.
Add the remaining ingredients to your Instant Pot and give it a good stir.
Close the lid, set the valve on "sealing", and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. It'll take about 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure.
Once the countdown has finished, do a quick release. You can let it depressurize naturally if you wish, but the turkey may dry out more.
Serve with desired toppings and enjoy! Chili freezes well.
- You can use canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes for extra flavor.
- Inactive time represents the time it will take to get your Instant Pot up to pressure.
- I use this 6-quart Instant Pot.

- You can make this on the stove. Just use a large pot and cook the onion and turkey as instructed. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes or until it's cooked through and the flavor is concentrated.
