Press the saute function on the Instant Pot, and add the oil, onion, carrots, and celery. Saute for 4 minutes, then add the garlic and turkey. Brown the turkey for 4 minutes, then stir in the spices.
Press Cancel, then add in the vegetable broth, pumpkin, and crushed tomatoes. Stir. Secure lid, set valve to sealing and select pressure cook. Adjust the time to 8 minutes.
When cooking completes, use a quick release to remove the pressure. Stir in the can of beans and serve immediately.
Chili will last for 5 days when secured in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Notes
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 scrape the bottom before continuing on with the recipe.
Using the mise en place technique isn't just for me to show you the ingredients! Before getting started, prepare all of your ingredients so that they're ready to go!
To accompany this pumpkin chili, my hands down favorite option is this Healthy Cornbread recipe.
Seriously, you can't go wrong with a hearty slice of bread in this beauty!
Vegetable broth: Be sure to add enough of the vegetable broth! I use a veggie bouillon cube then add 2 cups of water, but feel free sub store bought vegetable or chicken broth.
Chiles: Jalapeños can be used in place of Hatch chile, or omitted all together if you are sensitive to spice.
Paprika: Swap in smoked paprika for a slightly different flavor profile!
Crushed tomatoes: If you have diced canned tomatoes, go ahead and sub them in!
