Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes, with juices
• 1 8-ounce can Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 15-ounce can Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Frozen corn
• 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is heated, add the ground turkey. Cook and break it up with a wooden spoon until browned, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the diced red bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables and meat in the spices.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, chicken broth, kidney beans, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir everything together.

Step 6

Cancel the sauté function on the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and set the valve to 'Sealing'.

Step 7

Select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting. Cook for 10 minutes on high pressure.

Step 8

Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.

Step 9

Open the lid and give the chili a good stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
