I have zero regrets because we made THE BEST Turkey Chili I seriously might make it again this week haha. Even my dad was obsessed and he usually hates anything healthy lol. The perfect Halloween night meal too! 🎃

Instructions

This can be made in a regular pot, InstantPot or slow cooker.
For a slow cooker, you will need to brown your turkey and saute your onions and garlic in a separate skillet. In the InstantPot, use the saute setting.
Heat oil in the skillet or InstantPot. Saute the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes Add ground turkey and cook until it’s browned and just cooked through.
Add remaining ingredients to the slow cooker or InstantPot. Stir to combine.
Cook in an Instant Pot for 20 minutes on high pressure or cook in a slow cooker for 7-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. You can also use a regular pot with a lid and let it simmer. Just turn heat to low and cover for 30 min to 2-3 hours.
Use quick release to vent the InstantPot. Add more seasonings to taste!
