I've taken my mother's milder recipe for chili and made it thicker and more robust. It's a favorite, especially in fall and winter. &mash;Celesta Zanger, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground turkey
1-1/2 cups water
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
1 jar (24 ounces) meatless pasta sauce
1 can (16 ounces) hot chili beans, undrained
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup frozen corn
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Optional toppings: Sour cream, cubed avocado, diced jalapeno peppers

Directions

Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker; adjust for medium heat. Cook turkey until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking up turkey into crumbles; drain. Add water to pressure cooker. Cook 1 minute, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Return turkey to pressure cooker. Stir in tomatoes, pasta sauce, beans, celery, onion, green pepper, corn and seasonings.
Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. If desired, serve with sour cream, avocado and jalapeno. Freeze option: Freeze cooled chili in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.
