    OK, so the cook time is one hour, and this is “pressure cooker” cuisine. But the recipe says cook time is 5 hours, and there is no pressure cooker recipe information.

    Can someone add the pressure cooker info, or change the cook time to match reality?

    I made this recipe after having extra kale from a food box and extra ground turkey from a tray I got at Costco for making freezer meals pre-baby. I threw this together and froze it and then cooked it in the slow cooker after baby arrived. It was phenomenal. I love chili, but not usually turkey chili. Both my husband and I added this right back on our meal plan for next week because it reminds us of the Wendy’s chili in Canada (just much healthier).
