Instant Pot Turkey White Bean Chili
It has been so incredibly cold lately here in Ontario.
This morning it was nearing – 35°C with the windchill and I almost kept Bella home from school because I didn’t want to walk to her school bus stop!
I did eventually pull myself together, bundled up like a true Canadian, and got her there just in time to catch the bus.
During these bitterly cold winter months, nothing hits the spot more than a hearty chili, stew or soup, and I have an incredible chili recipe for you today.

How To Make Instant Pot Turkey White Bean Chili
Follow along with the Instant Pot Turkey White Bean Chili step-by-step process photos and then find the printable recipe below!
Gather all of the ingredients you will need to make this delicious chili.
Heat the Instant Pot to the Saute-Normal function.
Add the olive oil, onion, and carrot.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Next, add the garlic and ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey has browned.
Recipe Notes:
I add carrots to add a little more substance to the chili. Feel free to leave it out or swap it for bell pepper if you prefer.
If you don’t have fresh garlic, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder when you add the other spices.
I used lean ground turkey but if you have leftover roasted or smoked turkey, that would also be delicious.
Add the chicken stock and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Next add the diced tomatoes, great northern beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Stir to combine.
Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the “sealing” position.
Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook – Manual for 8 minutes.
Recipe Notes:
Chicken stock helps thin the chili a bit so it doesn’t burn on the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Diced tomatoes are a classic chili addition. If you can find fire-roasted tomatoes, those add even more flavour.
I use great northern beans but feel free to use any beans you like! Just make sure you drain and rinse them well.
I make my own chili spice mix with chili powder, cumin, paprika, and Italian seasoning. If you prefer you can swap it out for 2 tablespoons of your favourite chili seasoning blend.
Once the Instant Pot has finished cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes.
Then, release any remaining pressure by switching the valve to the “venting” position.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Recipe Notes:
Heavy cream makes the chili rich and creamy. You can totally skip it if you prefer a strong tomato-based chili.
Enjoy warm, topped with your favourite garnishes.
Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

If you don’t have fresh garlic, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder when you add the other spices in step 4.
I’m using lean ground turkey but if you have leftover roasted or smoked turkey, that would also be delicious. Just skip step 2 and add the pre-cooked turkey in step 4.
Chicken stock helps thin the chili a bit so it doesn’t burn on the bottom of the Instant Pot.
