Serves 4

Prep: 20 minutes

Closed Pot: 20 minutes

Total: 40 minutes

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 package (19.2 ounces) lean ground turkey

1 large yellow onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1 can (28 ounces) Whole30-compliant crushed tomatoes

1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped

1 medium jalapeño, seeded and chopped

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 medium avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

On a 6-quart Instant Pot, select Sauté and adjust to Normal/Medium. Add the oil to the pot. When it’s hot, add the turkey, onion, garlic, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to break up the meat, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Select Cancel.

Stir in ½ cup water, the tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeño, and chili powder. Lock the lid in place. Select Manual and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Use quick release.
