Instructions
Place the oil in the insert of a 6-quart electric pressure cooker or Instant Pot. Turn the sauté setting on and heat the oil until shimmering. Add the turkey and cook, stirring constantly to break up the meat into small pieces, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
Add the onion, bell pepper, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, pinto beans, water, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir to combine.
Secure the lid and close the vent. Set the cook time for 15 minutes at high pressure. When the cooking time completes, open the valve to quick release the pressure. Open the lid away from your face. Stir the chili. Serve the chili with your desired toppings.
