Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced (more or less to taste)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans (drained)
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the turkey, diced onion, and jalapeno. Brown the meat, breaking it up as it cooks. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and salt to the pot and sauté for 3-5 minutes until the spices become fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any stuck bits from the bottom of the pot (this helps avoid the burn error during pressure cooking).
- Stir in the cocoa powder, tomato paste, diced tomatoes (with juices), kidney beans, tomato sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Mix everything together.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the vent to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
- Once cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Remove the lid and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if desired.
- Serve topped with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and corn chips or oyster crackers.
Notes
- The cocoa powder adds a depth of flavor that enhances the chili without making it taste chocolatey.
- Adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeno to taste.
- For a thicker chili, you can blend some of the beans with a bit of liquid before mixing them in.
