Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Heat the canola oil in your multi-functional pressure cooker (like an Instant Pot®) using the Sauté function. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until mostly browned. (Approximately 5 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Pour in the salsa ranchera and stir well to combine with the browned turkey. Ensure everything is nicely coated in the sauce.

03

Step
15 mins

Close and lock the Instant Pot lid. Select the high-pressure setting according to the manufacturer's instructions. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot.

04

Step
5 mins

Once the cooking time is complete, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, as per your Instant Pot's instructions. (Approximately 5 minutes) Unlock and remove the lid.

For extra flavor, try adding a packet of taco seasoning to the turkey while browning.
If you prefer a spicier dish, use a hotter variety of salsa ranchera, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
This ground turkey taco meat freezes beautifully! Store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Serve with your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole.
