Recipe Notes

You can add the beans in at the last minute if you prefer. Simply stir them in after 4 hours on low heat and let them heat through.

You can keep the chili cooking on low heat up to 6-8 hours.

If you prefer to cook the chili on high, let it cook 2 hours.

If you prefer to make this slow cooker turkey chili in the Instant Pot, simply sauté the turkey, as well as the onion-pepper mixture in the Instant Pot on sauté mode. Place turkey in a bowl or on a plate after cooking then return to Instant Pot after cooking onion-pepper mixture. Use less chicken stock; either skip it completely or only use 1/2 cup. Cook the mixture (without beans) on High Pressure for 10 minutes then let naturally release at least 5-10 minutes. Stir in beans and heat through.
