Notes
- Ground turkey can be used in place of diced turkey. If using ground turkey, brown it in the Instant Pot with the Andouille sausage. Then follow the remaining recipe instructions.
- If you can't find Andouille sausage, you can substitute it with any smoked sausage
- The beer is optional but highly recommended. It helps to tenderize the meat, giving the chili an amazing smooth mouth texture.
- The recipe calls for turkey stock, but bone broth can be substituted for an even richer flavor. I love using bone broth if I have it.
- This chili is best served with healthy amounts of sour cream. Start with a smaller amount (1 tbsp) and work your way up to get the best flavor. Same goes for the cheddar cheese.
- Add additional cayenne pepper and/or chili powder for a spicier chili. The recipe as-is is not very spicy.
