Instant Pot Green Beans & Polska Kielbasa

 

It's literally a one pot meal!

What you'll need:

• 1 1/2 pound fresh green beans, ends removed and washed
• 1 1/2 pound baby red potatoes, quartered and washed (leaving skin on is optional)
• 1 small Vidalia onion sliced
• 14 oz Hillshire Farm Polska Kielbasa
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 stick of butter
• Salt to taste

The method:

1. Pour the broth into the inner liner of the Instant Pot then add the green beans, potatoes, onion, and Polska Kielbasa. Season with salt and then lay the half stick of butter on top.
2. Make sure the liner is securely in the lid (you don't even want to know why I remind you), put the lid on and make sure the valve is in the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook button, cancel the Keep Warm, then set the timer for 30 minutes on High Pressure. 
3. When time is up, let the pot naturally release (meaning do nothing). This will take 10-15 minutes. Take the lid off and enjoy!

Leftover Turkey Noodle Soup

Thanksgiving has came and gone and if you're like me you can only eat so many turkey sandwiches. I've eaten a few turkey salad sandwiches, too. So what else can you do with that leftover turkey? How about turkey noodle soup?


Ingredients:

• turkey leftovers (I had 2 legs and 2 wings)
• 8 oz spaghetti noodles broken in half
• 14 oz can sliced carrots (draining is optional)
• 1/2 t poultry seasoning
• 1 t of salt
• carton of chicken broth

Instructions:

1.  If you're using turkey leftovers that are still on the bone like the wings and legs, boil them in a large pot filled with water for about 15 minutes. Remove the turkey pieces from the water, but leave the water in the pot. Remove all of the meat from the bones. If you're using meat that is already removed from the bone you can skip this part.

2.  Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and let them boil over medium-high heat until the spaghetti noodles are done. Once they are done, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and let the soup simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Enjoy!
