Ingredients
4 slices smoked turkey strips, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 medium potatoes, cubed
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 (6.5-ounce) cans chopped clams, drained
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté and add the chopped smoked turkey. Cook for about 3 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the onion, celery, and thyme, and sauté for about 6 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the garlic, salt, and black pepper and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the potatoes, clam juice, and chicken broth. Secure the lid and cook on manual high pressure for 8 minutes.
- Quick-release the pressure, remove the lid, and switch the Instant Pot back to sauté.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour and heavy cream until smooth, then stir it into the chowder.
- Cook until thickened, then add the chopped clams and stir to combine. Serve warm.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch.
Do not freeze due to the creamy base.
Adjust salt at the end if needed.
If chowder thickens too much, add extra broth or cream.
