Steps
- In a bowl combine your ground turkey, Italian bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon minced jarred garlic, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Press saute on your instant pot and drizzle a good amount of olive oil to coat the bottom.
- Brown your turkey meat mixture until cooked through. Once browned, transfer the meat to a a separate bowl and rinse out your instant pot.
- On the high saute setting again drizzle more oil and saute your frozen mirepoix veggie mixture with 2 teaspoons of minced jarred garlic. Saute 3-4 minutes. Pour in the diced tomatoes with the juice, dried basil, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
- Return the ground turkey mix to the pot. Stir to combine. Pour in 4-5 cups of vegetable broth ( depending on how soupy you want it) Cover the Instant pot with the lid. Set to the sealing position and press the pressure cook button 2-3 times until it is set to high. Cook 15 minutes. (Set your timer to 10 minutes, because the pot takes 5 to reach full pressure).
- Once the timer goes off after the 10 minutes, quick release the instant pot with a dish towel by flipping the top of your lid from the sealing to the venting position. A lot of steam will release. That is ok, just make sure your hand is not over it. You can safely open the lid when the pressure valve has dropped to the lowest point. (See link below for more instructions on working your instant pot.)
- Pour in the ditalini pasta and zucchini. Close the lid and return to the sealing position. Cook at high pressure for 4 more minutes. To do this hit the pressure cook button again and set to 4 minutes. Quick release once done so the noodles do not overcook.
- Serve with fresh parmesan and parsley! Enjoy!
