To begin I turned the Instant Pot to the sauté function, added the olive oil and then the ground turkey.
While the turkey was cooking I made sure to scrape the bottom of the pot well to prevent a burn message later. The turkey still had some pink remaining when I shut the saute function off.
Next I added two cups of water to the Pot and scraped underneath all the ground turkey very well, removing any brown bits. This deglazing of the Pot is a very important step.
I drained and rinsed a can of Bean Medley and dumped it into the Pot with the ground turkey.
Still scraping the bottom of the Pot I stirred in the beans.
After adding the beans I sprinkled in the quinoa and pressed it down into the liquid.
Next I poured in the three jars of South-West Style salsa but I did not stir.
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 4 minutes.
When finished I turned the steam release handle to the venting position with a quick release.
I turned the Instant Pot off and allowed the South-West Style Turkey with Quinoa to cool a bit before serving.
Add toppings to suit your taste. Options include grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole or whatever suits your fancy!

Any changes necessary for a 6 qt?
Hi Carole,
I only have an 8 quart so I have never tried it in the 6 quart. Everything I have read says that the cook time remains the same. Yours will just take less time to come to pressure. With less time to come to pressure yours may be a bit runnier. I bought myself a large splatter guard from the dollar store to strain excess liquid off when this happens. It works great for fitting over the pot. Hope this helps.
Take Care,
Kathleen
