Directions

  1. Press “sauté” button on Instant Pot and add olive oil. Once hot, add turkey, onion, and garlic and brown for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Pour in stock and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in water, tomatoes, lentils, chili seasoning, spices, and chipotle peppers.
  3. Press cancel to stop the sauté function, seal the lid, then set to cook on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes. (It will take about 15 minutes for the pressure to build, then the timer will begin.) Once the timer has stopped, turn to vent to release the pressure completely before opening the lid.
  4. Add black beans, refried beans, and corn. Heat for an additional 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
