Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions

  1. Brown the ground turkey on the sauté setting for a few minutes until crumbly (about 5 to 7 minutes).

  2. Add in the the onion, peppers, garlic, spices, broth, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Continue to cook over medium heat for another 7 or 8 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

  3. Add the kidney beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce.

  4. Place the lid on, lock it and set the valve to sealing.

  5. Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes, and allow the pot to release pressure naturally (do not use quick release). Mine took about 24 minutes to fully release, FYI.

  6. After pressure indicator has lowered, switch the lever to venting, and remove the lid.

Slow Cooker Instructions

  1. Brown the ground turkey in a large pan on the stovetop over medium heat for a few minutes until crumbly (about 5 to 7 minutes).

  2. Stir in onion, peppers, garlic, spices, wine/broth, maple syrup, salt and pepper.

  3. Continue to cook over medium heat for another 7 to 8 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

  4. Transfer everything to the slow cooker, and add in the kidney beans, tomatoes and tomato sauce.

  5. Simmer on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours.

This recipe is very forgiving, and I have made many substitutions successfully. I always adjust the spices (add more) at the end, if I need to.
