ingredients
- 1 pounds ground turkey
- 1 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 large peppers
- 1/2 cups quinoa
- 1 cup corn
- 20 ounce can enchiladas sauce
Method
Step 1
Place turkey in instant pot on sauté setting. Add chili powder, salt, ground pepper, cumin, garlic and onion powder to the ground meat.
Step 2
While the turkey is cooking, cut off the tops of the peppers and hollow out the inside of each pepper.
Step 3
Once the turkey is fully cooked, pull out chamber of the instant pot and drain out the grease from the turkey with a lid or the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Place meat in a large bowl and mix in corn, quinoa and 1.5 cans of the enchilada sauce. Mix to combine.
Step 5
Return the pot to the chamber of the instant pot. Nest the peppers in the instant pot until they all fit. An 8 quart instant pot should fit 6 peppers.
Step 6
Fill each pepper with turkey & quinoa mixture. Top each pepper with remaining enchilada sauce until the rest of the can is used.
Step 7
Press the manual function then set the time to 10 minutes. Cover and make sure the valve is set to SEALING.
Step 8
When the instant pot is finished cooking, it will beep. Turn the valve to VENTING and place a dish towel over it to avoid the steam. Sprinkle cheese on top of each pepper and place lid back on the instant pot to melt the cheese.
