Cook the Stuffed Pepper in the Instant Pot

  • I am using my Instant Pot duo crisp in this post to steam or bake the Stuffed Pepper
    Steaming: Add two cups of water in the inner pot and place the steam rack inside it. Arrange the Ground Turkey stuffed peppers on top. Cover with the pressure cooker lid and push the steam function. Set the time to 5 minutes. Quick release. Add more if you want the peppers super tender.
    Baking: Don't add water. Set the steaming tray and line the Stuffed pepper. Cover with Air fryer lid and push the bake button. Set the timer to six to ten minutes.
    Conventional Oven: Line the stuffed pepper in a pan and bake the stuffed pepper in a preheated 375 F oven for thirty to forty minutes.
    Cook in the Instant Pot Vortex Plus: Arrange the stuffed pepper in the air fryer basket. Push the bake button and set the temperature to 350 F. Set the timer to eight to ten minutes. Shorter time if you want the peppers crunchier.
