Instructions
  1. Select Sauté and add the olive oil to the inner pot. Once the oil is hot, add the ground turkey. Cook for 2 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat and keep it from sticking to the pot.
  2. Press Cancel and add the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, celery, carrots, bell pepper, tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pot.
  3. Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual; set the pressure to High and the time to 10 minutes. Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealed position. After cooking, naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  4. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, and salt (if using).
  5. Serve immediately garnished with fresh cilantro, or place the chili in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Recipe Notes

ADVANCE PREP TIP: Chop all of the vegetables and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week before cooking. MEAL PREP TIP: You can serve this chili with cooked brown rice (THE HEALTHY MEAL PREP INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK page 22) or basmati rice. It also goes really well with a few slices of fresh avocado per serving.

    very Meh…considering the expense of ground turkey, Im pretty disappointed. Cooked it exactly like recipe. The sweet potatoes disappeared and it needs a lot more seasoning. If I made it again, I would cut the potatoes larger than the rest of the veggies and add a lot more seasoning. Also, since it was quite watery, maybe a tablespoon or two of tomato paste?

    Hi SRHarris,

    Everyone palate is different. If you prefer more spices feel free to increase the amount of spices to suit your preference. You are correct, the size of the sweet potatoes are important, that is why it is mentioned to cut into inch by 1 inch cubes to ensure they maintain their shape. Pressure cookers, cook by thickness, the thinner a food item is cut the quicker it will cook and vice versa.

    This was okay tastewise. Definitely needs more seasoning.

    Next time i’d pressure cook for 8 mins instead of the 10, the sweet potatoes disappeared, and the veggies turned to mush.

    Delicious and easy. I add additional garlic, chili, and salt. It might be a bit bland for some without the extra seasoning
