    A healthy, hearty dinner recipe. This chili recipe was developed to have all the flavor that you expect, but without any of the guilt. Not to mention it's ready in less than 30 minutes! And it's a low to no point Weight Watchers meal.

    As much as I love comfort food, I'm not a fan of the consequences. I often find myself taking my favorite recipes and tweaking them to fit a balanced weekly menu. But that's a lot of what life is all about, right? BALANCE! So what I've done here is taken my Granny's tried-and-true chili recipe and made it friendly to anyone who may be doing Weight Watchers. So friendly, in fact, that it can be zero points if you use fat-free turkey and broth! The only noticeable difference in this Instant Pot turkey chili is that the consistency is more on the brothy side since I omitted any thickener. And truth be told, I didn't miss it at all.

      Love this recipe! This is now my favorite chili and the first time I don’t really have to modify anything. Delicious! Everyone in the house loved it. I did thicken it a little with cornstarch, as suggested if you want a little thicker chili, and it was perfect.

      The spices in this recipe are just right and I loved how easy the recipe was to put together. I don’t eat meat so I subbed Beyond meat and veggie broth for the ground turkey and chicken broth and it was so good! My family loved it! Thanks for the great recipe.
