Ingredients

1 lb. 93% Lean / 7% Fat Ground Turkey (or any lean point you prefer!)
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½ inch cubes
2 carrots, shredded
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1 yellow onion, diced
2 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
4 cups chicken broth
¼ cup yellow mustard
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (divided)
1 cup 2% milk
2 hamburger buns with sesame seeds
For topping: shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and extra shredded cheddar cheese

Step 1

Begin by setting your instant pot to sauté. Heat the olive oil for 1 minute.
Step 2

Add in the carrots, onion, celery and sauté for 3 minutes.
Step 3

Stir in the ground turkey and cook until there is no more pink (turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F).
Step 4

Add in the salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and diced potatoes. Cover the instant pot with the lid and set the valve to “seal.”
Step 6

On high pressure, cook the soup for 10 minutes. While this cooks, prepare the hamburger bun croutons by dicing the sesame buns into ¼ inch cubes and place on a sheet tray. Broil these for 1-2 minutes until nicely browned, then set aside.
Step 7

Once the time is up, carefully turn the valve to quick release the pressure. Once it is done releasing steam, remove the lid.
Step 8

Taking a potato masher, carefully mash the mixture to break up about half of the potatoes. Stir in the mustard, milk, and half of the cheddar cheese.
Step 9

To serve, ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar, diced tomato, diced pickle, shredded lettuce and the sesame bun croutons.
