Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
2 small carrots, grated
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's®), or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 1/2 cups water

1 1/2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
2 cups elbow macaroni
1 teaspoon paprika
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Directions

1 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Add olive oil and turkey; cook until halfway browned and crumbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in carrots, onion, bell pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper.
2 Mix water, Worcestershire sauce, and bouillon granules together in a small bowl. Pour into meat mixture and stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer, then stir in macaroni and paprika. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce, making sure not to stir after this addition. Close and lock the lid. Set the timer for 4 minutes. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.
3 Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
4 Mix well before serving.
