Instructions
Make It Now:
- Set the 6-quart Instant Pot to “Saute” Pour in 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat until shimmery. Add the sweet potatoes and onions and cook, stirring, for about 4 minutes, until they start to soften, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper while they cook. Transfer the sweet to a plate and set aside.
- Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the pot and heat until shimmery. Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat as it cooks, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper as the mixture cooks.
- Add in the garlic for the last 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it. Press “Cancel.”
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in the Instant Pot: sauteed veggies, broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Lock and seal the lid. Cook at high pressure for 7 minutes, then quick release the pressure.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper and serve warm.
Freeze For Later: Fully cook the soup as directed. Let cool and transfer to storage containers or airtight freezer bag.
