Equipment

6-quart Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion diced
2 large carrots peeled and sliced or diced
2 medium garlic cloves minced
1 pound 99% fat free ground turkey
1 cup fat-free chicken broth
2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
2 15-ounce cans great northern beans drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Heat the Instant Pot to the SAUTE function. Add the olive oil, onion, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes).
Add the garlic and ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey has browned (5 minutes).
Add the chicken broth or stock and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Important before the pressure cooking cycle to avoid a burn warning.
Add the diced tomatoes, great northern beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
Seal the lid and set the pressure release valve to the “sealing” position. Select Manual - High Pressure for 8 minutes.
When the cooking cycle is completed allow a NATURAL RELEASE for 5 minutes followed by a MANUAL RELEASE to release any remaining pressure.
Season salt and black pepper to taste.
Enjoy warm, topped with your favorite garnishes. Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Topping ideas:

thinly slice jalapeno peppers
fat reduced sour cream or non fat plain Greek yogurt (we love Chobani brand)
sliced green onions
shredded cheddar cheese (regular or fat-reduced)
crushed tortilla chips (if you are a WW member their Sea Salt Tortilla Chips are perfect for this and low points)
torn fresh cilantro leaves
lime wedges for a squeeze of lime juice

How to Store

Allow the white chili to cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop in a saucepan.

How to Freeze

This healthy white bean turkey chili freezes great too. Allow to cool. Place in an airtight freezer-safe container leaving ¾ inch space on top for expansion. Freeze for 4-6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
