Description

This Mouthwatering Instant Pot Ground Turkey recipe is a quick and flavorful dish perfect for busy weeknights. Ground turkey is sautéed with aromatic garlic and onion, seasoned with cumin, parsley, salt, and pepper, then combined with a medley of vegetables and simmered in rich tomato sauce all in an Instant Pot for a tender, savory meal that’s both healthy and satisfying.

Ingredients

Protein and Oil

  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil (preferably Bertolli for sautéing)
  • 1 lb ground turkey

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots and peas (Birds Eye brand recommended for consistency)
  • 1/2 cup corn

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp parsley
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce (Hunt’s recommended for smooth consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Turn on the Instant Pot and select the ‘Sauté’ function. Add the olive oil and let it heat for about 1 minute.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onions turn translucent.
  3. Brown the Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the pot. Break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula and cook until no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in the salt, parsley, pepper, and cumin. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices throughout the meat and onion mixture.
  5. Add Vegetables and Sauce: Mix in the carrots, peas, corn, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Pressure Cook: Cancel the ‘Sauté’ function. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Select the ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ mode and set the timer for 5 minutes.
  7. Release Pressure: When the cooking time ends, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
  8. Serve: Open the lid and give the mixture a final stir. Serve warm over rice, quinoa, or use as a filling for wraps or tacos.

Notes

  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
  • Birds Eye vegetables ensure consistent quality, but fresh or frozen can also be used.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, pasta, or in a taco shell for a different meal option.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
