Recipe Notes
Here are some tips to help you make this recipe perfect everytime!
- Be sure you don’t burn the turkey or veggies while sautéing them! This could cause a BURN message during pressure cooking if you do.
- If you notice it did get a little charred, simply add a little more veggie broth and scrap the bottom before continuing on with the recipe.
- Add enough of the vegetable broth! I use a veggie bouillon cube then add 2 cups of water, but feel free to use what you have.
- You can omit the white beans but I highly recommend keeping them in!
- Jalapeños can be used in place of Hatch chiles, or omitted all together if you are sensitive to spice.
