Instructions:

Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. When it says HOT on the display add the olive oil into the pot. Swirl the oil around. Add in the ground turkey and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add in the onion. Stir.

Add in the salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano and pepper. Brown the meat for about 5 minutes. There will be extra liquid that cooks off of it and that is okay. We will use it to help cook the pasta.

Pressure Cooking Time

Pour in the pasta, chicken broth, tomatoes, salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. Don’t stir. Cover the pot and secure the lid.

Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 6 minutes. Once the time is up perform a quick release by moving the valve to venting. Remove the lid.

Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and stir in the cream cheese, spinach and cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and fully incorporated. Turn off the sauté setting. Scoop the pasta onto serving dishes and enjoy.
