How to Make Instant Pot Turkey Chili

With the electric pressure cooker on the saute mode, heat until “hot.” Add the ground turkey, onion, and green pepper. Cook until the turkey is completely cooked through. Transfer the meat mixture to a colander to drain well.

While the meat drains, pour the beef broth into the electric pressure cooker and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pot. 

Add the meat mixture to the electric pressure cooker. Add beef broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot by scraping with a wooden spoon.
