Instant Pots have been around since 2010, yet they are still a trendy food appliance. That’s a pretty impressive record if you ask me. Why are instant pots all the rage 8 years later? Well the answer, I think, is in their versatility. An instant pot is not only a pressure cooker, it has many functions and features. Because of that you can make more complex meals with ease (and only one dirty pot!). This recipe uses 2 of the Instant Pot functions to bring together a thick, hearty stew in under an hour.

It’s so impressive to me how much flavor this process imparts. A good stew typically slow cooks all day long to produce tender, juicy meat in a flavorful gravy. This Instant Pot Turkey Stew takes almost no time or effort to produce a wholesome, flavorful dish. Woot! I don’t know about you, but that’s what I like to hear.

Serves: 6 Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Ingredients:

• ¼ Cups Oil
• 6 Tablespoons Flour
• 1 Quart Chicken Stock
• 1 Onion, cut into eighths
• 2 Cups Carrot sticks or baby carrots
• 1 Cup Celery, 1” sticks
• 1 Cup Peas
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 3 Pounds Boneless, Skinless White Meat Turkey, cut into chunks
• 3 Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
• ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Tarragon

Instructions:

1. Mise en Place. You will want to have all of the ingredients cut to size before you begin.
2. Set your Instant Pot to Saute mode, High. Add Oil.
3. Add the Flour and begin to whisk. Whisk continuously until the mixture turns golden and has a nutty smell.
4. Pour in the Chicken Stock while whisking. Continue to whisk continuously until the stock becomes hot.
5. Press Cancel to Turn off the Instant Pot. Add in all remaining ingredients in any order.
6. Stir to combine. Then using the back of your spoon, run over the top to smooth everything down under the liquid level.
7. Close and lock the Instant Pot lid. Turn the vent from “venting” to “sealing.” Set the Instant Pot to Soup, Normal, 30 minutes.
8. Now the Pot will take over! It will take a few minutes first to pressurize, then it will cook for 30 minutes. When done, it will let off a series of beeps.
9. DO THIS CAREFULLY! At this point, you can turn the vent knob from “sealing” to “venting.” STEAM WILL IMMEDIATELY START SHOOTING OUT THE TOP. Do not have your hand (or face or anything) over the knob! When the pressure is fully released, the red pressure indicator will drop down.
10. Once the indicator is dropped, you can turn unlock the lid and open the pot. Stir and serve! The Instant Pot will hold the food on keep warm mode automatically. Just turn it off when you are done eating. If you cannot be around when the Pot is ready, it’s ok to let the pressure release naturally. Just be sure that the red indicator is down before opening the lid.
11. Serve that night or freeze and reheat to serve!
