INSTRUCTIONS

For slow cooker:

1. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the ground turkey and cook until turkey is browned making sure to crumble the turkey with a spatula as it cooks.

2. Place the ground turkey into the slow cooker. Stir in the sweet potato, bell pepper, diced green chiles, chicken broth, jalapeño, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings.

3. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or high heat for 3-4 hours.

4. Serve warm and garnish with your favorite toppings. Sliced avocado is really good with it!

For instant pot:

1. Set instant pot to sauté setting. Add avocado oil to the interior pot, followed by the garlic, and onions. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until onion begins to soften. Add ground turkey, and cook breaking up chunks and browning meat until no longer pink.

2. Turn the instant pot sauté setting off, by pressing cancel. Add the sweet potato, bell pepper, diced green chilies, chicken broth, diced jalapeño, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Stir well.

3. Put the instant pot lid on, and set the vent to “sealing”. Cook on high pressure (manual) for 15 minutes. The instant pot may take 10-15 minutes to warm up, and then the timer will start to count down from 15 minutes. Once the timer goes off, quick release to vent the pressure immediately. Serve warm.
