Instant Pot Tacos With Ground Turkey
These Instant Pot tacos with ground turkey are weeknight gold. The pressure cooker does all the work while you handle the fun part—toppings. In just 10 minutes, you’ve got saucy, flavor-packed tacos that feel way more special than the effort it took to make them.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lb ground turkey
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 2 TBSP taco seasoning I like using my homemade taco seasoning here
- 4 oz canned green chilies (not drained)
- 6 taco shells, hard and/or soft; whichever your prefer!
Topping Ideas
- Diced tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce
- Shredded cheese Mexican blend, taco blend, or cheddar work great.
- Hot sauce
- Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Activate the sauté function [low or medium] on Instant Pot.
- Add the olive oil to the pot, heat it, and once its hot add the ground turkey. Let it simmer for about two minutes, stirring and breaking the turkey down into crumbles as you go. When the turkey is partially cooked, turn off the sauté function.
- Stir the taco seasoning into the ground turkey, then add the salsa and green chilies. Mix well, then lock the lid into place, positioning the valve to "Sealing".
- Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
- As the ground turkey cooks in the Instant Pot, get your toppings ready.
- When the Instant Pot timer goes off, move the valve to "venting" for a quick release. Once the pressure has completely released, remove the lid from the Instant Pot and stir everything up once more.
- Pile the filling into your taco shells, top with your favorite stuff, and enjoy!
Notes
Because you can prep the toppings while the meat cooks in the Instant Pot, I've clocked this recipe at 10 minutes.
Calorie count is based solely on the ground turkey mixture. Taco calories will vary depending on how you dress them, what kind of shell you use, etc.
