Equipment

Instant Pot
Spatula

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp avocado oil
3 bell peppers, diced diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 onion finely diced
5 cups chicken broth
1 can tomato sauce 15 ounce can
3/4 cup white rice medium grain
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes or to taste
1/4 tsp sea salt or to taste
1/4 tsp pepper or to taste

Instructions

Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add avocado oil, garlic and onion. Sauté for a few minutes.
Add ground turkey. Break up the meat and sauté until turkey meat is brown.
Once the turkey is cooked, add the chicken broth to deglaze the pot.
Add the diced peppers, rice, tomato sauce, and Italian seasoning.
Close the lid and pressure valve, and set to pressure cook for 8 minutes. Remember it takes about 8-10 minutes to come to full pressure first.
When it's done, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure. This takes about 8-10 minutes.
Once the float valve is down (this indicates all pressure is released), open the lid and stir the soup. Add, salt, pepper and red chili flakes, to taste.
Optional: Serve topped with shredded cheese and gluten free bread.
