2 tbsp Oil
1 pound Ground turkey
1 cup Onion Finely chopped
3 cloves Garlic Finely minced
1.5 cups Broth Chicken or vegetable, Low sodium
1 Pepper Red, Green, Yellow or Orange, Diced
1 can Red kidney beans 15 oz. can, Drained and Rinsed
1 can Cannellini beans 15 oz. can, Drained and Rinsed, Can use pinto beans instead
2 cans Fire roasted tomatoes Diced, 14.5 oz. cans
1 can Fire roasted green chiles 4 oz. can
1 tbsp Tomato paste
2-3 tbsp Chili powder Start with 2 tbsp and add 1 more tbsp at the end, if necessary after tasting
1 tsp Cumin powder
1 tsp Oregano Dried
1/2 tsp Paprika
Salt To taste
Pepper To taste
1 cup Corn Frozen, Or use a mixture of frozen veggies instead of just corn

Turn on the "Saute" mode in the instant pot.
When the pot is hot, add oil.
Add ground turkey and cook for for 3-4 minutes, breaking into small pieces with your spoon until browned and no longer pink.
Optional: Remove from heat and drain grease, if you like. Since ground turkey is quite lean, I usually skip this step.
Add onions and garlic and saute for a few minutes until onions are partially softened and garlic is fragrant.
Optional: Deglaze pan with 1/2 cup broth if you like and scrape off the flavorful brown bits (if any) from the bottom of the pot.
Add broth, peppers, kidney beans, cannellini beans, fire roasted tomatoes, fire roasted green chiles, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper.
Mix until combined.
Put the lid on and turn the valve to “Sealing.”
Select “Manual” mode and set the timer for 5 minutes.
When the cook time is over, do a quick pressure release.
Remove lid and mix in corn.
Cook uncovered on the "Saute" mode until mixture is reduced and thickened to your desired consistency.
Serve in bowls with toppings of your choice. Enjoy

Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Since it thickens over time, reheat in the microwave with a splash of water or broth.
