September 19, 2019 by Alex Daynes

Instant Pot Healthy Turkey Chili

Shop the Instant Pot!

The Instant Pot is all the rage right now for all of the right reasons! Seriously, this kitchen appliance is a game changer! It is perfect for busy moms, college kids, young families, and even for the elderly!

Whether you’re hungry for Instant Pot Healthy Turkey Chili, homemade mashed potatoes, tender roasts in a fraction of the time, or a comforting soup ready when you walk in the door, the #InstantPot, which can act as an electric pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer and even yogurt-maker, can help!

The Instant Pot is the hot new kitchen appliance that lives up to its hype! Truthfully, I think everyone needs one!

You can shop the 6 quart Instant Pot on Amazon by clicking the image below!

What size Instant Pot should I get?

Don’t have an Instant Pot and wondering about sizing? Let me break it down for you!

The 3 Quart

The Three Quart Instant Pot is great for small families, up to 4. It is also great as an addition to another larger Instant Pot, for those times that you have a main course going in your large pot and you need to cook up a side!

I personal don’t own a 3 quart. But, I have heard that is serves it place! The 3 quart is great for hard boiled eggs, mashed potatoes, and rice!


The 6 Quart

The 6 Quart is the perfect size! This Instant Pot is great for everything! Families really up to 8 people can benefit from this size! Plus, most Instant Pot recipes are tested and developed in a 6 quart Instant Pot.

This is the standard size and it works perfectly for most households!

The 8 Quart

The 8 Quart Instant Pot is a beast! I love my 8 quart, but I also am often cooking for crowd! This is awesome because it can make A TON of food! I can triple a batch of my Coconut Curry Chicken!

You don’t necessarily need one this big, but when cooking for a crowd, it’s very nice!

Ice, Icy Baby 🧊 🥬 An ice bath can revitali Ice, Icy Baby 🧊 🥬 

An ice bath can revitalize wilted romaine lettuce by helping it rehydrate and regain crispness. Submerging the lettuce in ice water for 15-30 minutes can be effective in reviving limp leaves. 

1. Prepare the ice bath:
Fill a large bowl with cold water and add ice cubes until the water is very cold. 
2. Submerge the lettuce:
Carefully place the wilted romaine lettuce leaves in the ice water, ensuring they are fully submerged. 
3. Soak for 15-30 minutes:
Let the lettuce soak in the ice water for about 15-30 minutes, allowing the leaves to rehydrate. 
4. Remove and dry:
After soaking, remove the lettuce from the ice water and gently pat it dry with a clean towel.

Fluffy whipping cream at home 🤍🤍🤍 1 cup Fluffy whipping cream at home 🤍🤍🤍

1 cup (220g) whipping cream (cold, use straight from fridge)
1/4 cup (35g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer, add the whipping cream. Attach the whisk attachment.
Whisk the mixture at medium-high speed. After about 2 minutes, it should start to get frothy and foamy, add in the powdered sugar and cream of tartar and continue whisking for about 1-2 more minutes. Add the vanilla. 
At this point, medium peaks should be forming. Medium peaks will partially fall over. Stop here if you want that glossy dollop on a piece of pie, etc. If you want to pipe this, continue whisking for about another minute until stiff peaks form.

Use for any and all desserts and toppings and enjoy!!

I like to be prepared, but I also have to carry around a 25 pound toddler in addition to this bag, so I needed to lighten it up! 

I took out a lot of things I don’t see an essential, but my @cleansimpleeats greens are staying in my bag! I drink these every single day and they’re so easy to dissolve in water. The flavors are amazing but the real reason I love them is for the benefits!! 

All greens 🥬 flavors are on SALE right now for 25% off and the code: alexdaynes will stack too!! 

Grab a bag, or snag this variety pack to taste them all! 

Raspberry Lemonade tastes like a raspberry Jolly Rancher 🍬

Tropical is pineapple juice, with a hint of guava 🍍

Peachy: think peach rings 🍑

Green Apple is just like drinking a glass of apple juice 🍏

Sweet Lemon is refreshingly sweet and sour 🍋

A traditional chicken salad recipe has chicken, gr A traditional chicken salad recipe has chicken, grapes, celery, and almonds. Many are served on a croissant too.

Where my recipe differs is in the dressing. The sauce that coats it all before you chill it and serve.

I like to add whipped whipping cream to the dressing to make it light, airy, and even a little bit fluffy.

Here’s the thing, I don’t sweeten my whipping cream. I simply whip it up with beaters, add the whipped cream to the other ingredients and fold it in gently. Try it!
