Chilli can be a contraversial topic - people get very passionate about it and thats entirely fair because it is delicious! However all foods get altered to what is available locally. The goal is always to keep some of the spirit of the food alive.

Like all chilli recipes, this is a great winter food. Warm, hearty and spicy. The important change with this particular recipe is that I use turkey to adjust it to Rosie's particular dietary requirements.

I cook it in our instant pot, because its far more convenient that way, and I also use beans and sweetcorn. Don't @ me.

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 kg minced Turkey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 1 large red pepper bell pepper, seeds removed, chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeds removed, chopped {optional for spice}
• 1 Tablespoon hot chilli powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 can of diced tomatoes, drained
• 1t can of sweetcorn, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Heat up the Instant Pot’s sauté mode, and and half of the olive oil.

Add the ground turkey to the Instant Pot along with a dash of salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes to brown it. Use a spoon to break up the large chunks of turkey.

Drain the fat from the ground turkey and set aside in a bowl. Add the remaining olive oil to the Instant Pot and then cook the garlic and onion for a couple of minutes until it softens..

Add the bell pepper, jalapeño, chilli powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper and continue to sauté until the bell pepper is tender - about 2 to 3 minutes - and the spices start to release their fragrance.

Add 1/2 of a cup of the chicken broth to help deglaze the pot and allow all the flavour to release from the bottom of the pot. Once you’re done, turn the sauté mode off.

Now add the ground turkey, beans, remaining 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth, diced tomatoes and corn in that order, without mixing it. Close lid and pressure cook on Manual at High Pressure for 5 minutes, followed by quick release when time is up. Turn off your Instant Pot and carefully open your lid.

Stir in fresh cilantro and a dash of salt and pepper.

Serve warm with your favourite garnishes like sour cream, cheese, cilantro and crushed chips.
