Notes

*To make chili on the stovetop, follow all instructions but make in a large pot instead of Instant Pot. Sauté on medium heat to cook peppers, onions, and turkey. After adding broth, crushed tomatoes and other ingredients, bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes before adding lime juice and serving.
