Instructions
  1. Begin by pressing the "saute" button on your instant pot after removing the lid.
  2. Add the grapeseed oil, then wait a minute or two to heat before adding the ground turkey. You should get a nice sizzle when the turkey is added.
  3. Break up the meat a bit, and stir until it's mostly browned. Now add the onion.
  4. Saute the onion for another minute or two, until they begin to soften. Add the bell pepper.
  5. Continue to stir and saute for about a minute. Now add all of the seasonings. This includes the chili powder, brown sugar, salt, cumin, oregano, basil, paprika, cardamom, cayenne pepper, cocoa powder, nutmeg and black pepper.
  6. Stir it up quickly the add the sherry. Let the sherry sort of deglaze the pan before adding the beef broth. Stir well.
  7. Now stir in the tomato paste and minced garlic. Add both cans of tomatoes - be sure NOT to drain them. We want that liquid too!
  8. Once everything is all stirred together, add the beans that have been rinsed WELL. Stir it all together, then close the lid.
  9. Make sure to adjust the dial to the SEALED position.
  10. Now press power on the instant pot to get it out of saute mode.
  11. Press manual, then set it to 18 minutes at high.
  12. Once it beeps you can either wait a few minutes and do quick release, or let it naturally release for about 10-15 minutes.
  13. Turn off the Instant Pot and stir well.
  14. Serve with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, slices of avocado and some tortilla strips.
  15. Enjoy!
