Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil (7g)
- 1 lb. 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 (1-oz.) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 3 garlic cloves I use frozen cubes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa (180g)
- 1 small onion (160g) finely diced
- 2 medium carrots (160g) finely diced
- 2 celery stalks (130g) finely diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese (56g)
- Optional toppings: buffalo sauce, light ranch dressing, avocado slices
Instructions
- On your Instant Pot, press “Saute” and wait until the display says Hot. Coat the bottom with the oil and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon as you go, for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
- Add the ranch seasoning, garlic, salt and water. Stir well, making sure to deglaze the pot.
- Press “Cancel.” Add the quinoa and stir.
- Then add the diced onion, carrots and celery. Do not stir. Close the lid, turn the pressure valve to “Sealing” and press “Pressure Cook” on High for 12 minutes.
- After it’s done, turn the pressure valve to “Venting” for quick release. Makes 4 bowls. Add 2 Tbsp of crumbled feta to each bowl. Adding a little bit of buffalo sauce (I like mild) really takes it to the next level!
Notes
One serving is huge! You can always serve up half with a salad and I still find it very filling!
