This recipe for white bean and turkey chili is one of the easiest chili recipes for your Instant Pot. With a pound of fresh ground turkey and a few canned ingredients, we can put together a great meal in a short amount of time. It’s a chili recipe with a creamy, smooth texture with lots of flavor. I wanted a chili recipe that was not a complicated 5-alarm chili, and that could come together with ease.
Ground turkey and white beans compliment each other so well in this recipe. White beans – also known as Great Northern Beans are described as having a delicate, nutty flavor. We’ll then a southwestern style can of diced tomatoes with green chilies. Ro-Tel is a popular brand but there’s many store-brand versions as well. Then a small can of tomato sauce, some chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and some seasoned salt and we’re on our way to a great pot of chili.
Finally, this white bean turkey chili is SO delicious when served with some shredded cheese. I love a Mexican blend consisting of monterey jack, cheddar, queso quesadilla & asadero cheeses. This blend is very common on grocery store shelves. It’s a very melty, smooth blend that again, compliments the rest of the chili ingredients perfectly.
