GF Chipotle Instant Pot Chili Mac Recipe

If you haven't had Chickpea pasta ( Banza) before, it is a little heavy. So, eating the portion size is recommended. They have a good amount of protein and fiber too. I added ground turkey to it because it isn't a true chili mac without meat. The last time I did a chili mac I made it with boneless skinless chicken thighs, check the recipe out here.

How do I make this GF Chipotle Instant Pot Chili Mac Recipe?

1. Add olive oil, onion, ground turkey set to the sauté on the Instant Pot. Cook until the turkey is brown but not burned, about 7-10 minutes. Keep stirring it.
2. Add the cans of tomatoes, then the pasta shells, and water. Then add the chipotle chopped pieces, parsley, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir completely.
3. Secure lid and move pressure release valve to the Sealing position. Press Manual; cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. Remember, it takes time to increase pressure in the Instant Pot, taking about 30 minutes total from pressurizing to release.
4. When cooking is completed, press the Cancel button and use a quick release. After taking the lid off, let it cool a bit. It is very hot!

It's the best! I'm definitely going to make this recipe again! I love that the ground turkey had less fat than beef.
