To start making this Instant Pot Cheesy Pasta and Turkey dish I put some olive oil in the Instant Pot and then turned it to the Saute Less function for 7 minutes.

Then I added some ground turkey and diced yellow onion.

I broke the meat up as it was browning.  After the first few minutes I added in some garlic.

When the Pot turned off the ground turkey was still slightly pink.  I poured in some chicken broth that I had added some salt and pepper to as well.

I used the broth to deglaze the bottom of the Pot making sure to get all the brown bits off the bottom.

Then I poured in some water and a can of diced tomatoes.

Next I sprinkled in a box of Catelli gluten free fusilli pasta.  I pushed the pasta into the liquid but I Did Not Stir.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 2 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I immediately turned the steam release handle to the venting position and did a Quick Release.

After stirring the pasta I dumped in some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend to the Pot.

I stirred until the cheese had melted.

Then I sprinkled in some dried parsley and stirred all the ingredients in the Pot again.

After stirring in the parsley it was time to serve up the Instant Pot Cheesy Pasta and Turkey.

This tasty pasta dish is another great comfort dish to be enjoyed by your family.  It is a simple and quick recipe that can be made any day of the week.

Next time I make this recipe I will try it with more ground turkey at my husband’s request.
