Instant Pot Smoked Turkey Bean Soup
This turkey and bean soup is inexpensive and easy to make. I start with dried beans and used my pressure cooker (my favorite pot to make beans) because it cuts the cooking time in half and the flavors really get into the soup. The smoked turkey leg adds wonderful flavor to the soup. If you can’t find smoked turkey legs, you can use smoked turkey sausage instead. You can also do this in a large pot or dutch oven, but keep in mind it will take twice as long to cook and you’ll have to add more liquid to the pot as it evaporates, where as in the pressure cooker you don’t get much evaporation. This is also great to freeze for the month, it thaws and reheats perfectly so you can make your own healthy freezer meals. I freeze them in portions and use a sharpie to write the name, date, and calories or points. More of my favorite pressure cooker or Instant Pot soup recipes are Cheeseburger Soup, Chickpea and Sweet Potato Stew, and Turkey Meatball with Ditalini Soup.
How to Make Smoked Turkey and Bean Soup
As I mentioned above, this turkey and bean soup comes together quickly in the Instant Pot so it’s perfect for weeknights.
Cook the veggies. Cook the onions, carrots, celery and parsley over medium high heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the other ingredients. Add the water, bay leaves, beans, turkey, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Lock the lid and bring to high pressure. Cook for 45 minutes. Allow to natural release. Blend. Discard the bay leaves and remove the turkey legs. Remove the skin and cut the meat off the bone. Use an immersion blender to puree the beans. Enjoy. Add the salt, return the turkey to the soup, and ladle into bowls.
