Healthy Baked Beans With Ground Turkey Instant Pot Stove Top Recipes

INSTANT POT® BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Combine water and beans in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method for 20 minutes; quick-release remaining pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain and rinse the beans with cold water and set aside. Rinse and wipe out Instant Pot® insert and place back into the pressure cooker.
• Turn on Instant Pot® and select Saute function. Heat olive oil until shimmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt pork, bacon, and onion and briefly cook until fat begins to render, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup water and scrape any brown bits off the bottom. Turn Instant Pot® off.
• Whisk together ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, and remaining 1 cup water in a small bowl. Return cooked beans to the pot along with the ketchup mixture. Gently stir to combine. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method for 20 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Unlock and remove the lid. Beans will thicken upon cooling. Serve immediately or freeze portions for later.

HEALTHY BAKED BEANS (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Press the SAUTE setting on your Instant Pot and add 1/4 cup water. When hot, add onion and saute for 4 minutes. Add the smoked paprika and garlic powder, cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, stirring frequently.
• Next add the beans, broth, tomato paste, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, mustard, bay leaves, ground pepper and salt, gently stir until the tomato paste is dissolved completely and everything is well combined.
• Attach the lid, and make sure the vent is in the SEALED position. Push the PRESSURE COOKER button, and manually set at HIGH for 75 minutes. When done, let the steam vent for 20 minutes. Move the vent to open, careful not to burn yourself as there may still be a little steam left. Remove lid and let cool a bit, add salt to taste. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. Transfer beans to a serving dish.
• Beans will thicken once cooled. If too thick, add 2 tablespoons of water at a time, mix well, and repeat until desired consistency.
• In bottom of slow cooker, add the onion, beans, maple syrup, vinegar, 4 cups water/broth, tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic powder, mustard, pepper, and bay leaves. Gently stir, until the tomato paste has broken up and dissolved.
• Cook on HIGH for 8 - 10 hours. Check periodically, adding up to 1/2 cup more water as needed (I've used up to 1 + 1/2 cups for 8 hours). You will also want to check for doneness towards the end so the beans don't overcook. Add salt to taste.

HEALTHY BAKED BEANS WITH GROUND TURKEY | INSTANT POT + STOVE TOP

Steps:

• Dice and cook the onions in a large pan. I've been buying frozen diced onions, and I have to tell you that they are a game changer!
• Add ground meat to the onions in the pan. You can use ground turkey, lean beef, or even chicken for this recipe. I really think it doesn't make a huge difference because of the amount of seasonings you're going to add.
• While that is cooking, add all of the other ingredients to a large baking dish. I drain the liquid out of one can of beans, then set the liquid aside in case beans look dry after cooking. If you choose to use more than 2 cans of beans, save half of the liquid for that.
• When meat and onions are cooked, add the mixture to your baking dish and mix well. The bacon you see in this is from the homemade pork and beans recipe that I use instead of canned pork and beans.
• Cook at 350 degrees for an hour. If using a smoker, you can easily cook them in there for an hour-the flavor is delicious!
