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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Add the ranch seasoning, garlic, salt and water. Stir well, making sure to deglaze the pot.
  3. Press “Cancel.” Add the quinoa and stir.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
