Equipment
- Instant Pot

Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey or meat of choice
- 1 ½ cups chickpea pasta
- 15 oz diced tomatoes
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 2 cups mixed veggies frozen
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Instant Pot
- Place the olive oil, onions and garlic in the Instant Pot and set to sauté. Cook 1-2 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Add the uncooked ground turkey and cook another 5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula as the meat cooks.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, cover, set to pressure cook and set the release valve to seal. Note, it will take the Instant Pot 15-20 minutes to build up pressure before it cooks so plan accordingly!
- Cook 3 minutes then release the pressure valve, uncover and serve!
Stove Top
- Follow step 1 and 2 of the instructions only using a large pot. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and cook 10 minutes until pasta is al dente then serve!
Slow Cooker
- Place all the ingredients except the pasta in a crockpot and set to high for 3-4 hours. Add the pasta during the last 30 minutes then serve!
