Instant Pot Chile Verde w/ Turkey
INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey (93 percent lean)
1 yellow onion, diced
2 poblano or Anaheim chiles, diced
2 jalapeño chiles, diced
2 serrano chiles, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (12-ounce) jar Mexican-style salsa verde (tomatillo based)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Grated Monterey Jack cheese, for serving

Select the Sauté setting on the Instant Pot and heat the oil. Add the turkey and sauté, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks, for about 5 minutes, until cooked through and no traces of pink remain. Add the onion, chiles, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, and cayenne and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes, until the onion has softened and is translucent. Stir in the pinto beans, salsa verde, and broth.
Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press the Cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the Bean/Chili setting and set the cooking time for 20 minutes at high pressure.
Let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam. Open the pot and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Secret iPhone video feature: Night🌛 Mode time lapse

Kurt Papke 2023-01-10 | Most iPhone photographers know about Night Mode, but few people know that it also can be used for time lapse videos. For this to work, you must have an iPhone 12 or later, but an iPhone 14 will be best.
You will need to wait for the right moment to record these - sunrise works well, moonrises are great, a moonrise at dusk can work, stars can work but require a little editing. Sunsets are not so good because the time lapse begins when there is full light, and I believe the iPhone won’t switch to nightmare during a recording, so when it gets dark the video gets pretty noisy.
All you have to do is select time lapse mode, there is no button to turn on night mode.
You must mount your phone on a tripod or lean it against something - the camera software will not enable night mode unless your camera is steady.
When you are ready to begin recording, just press the shutter button to begin. Let it run as long as you like, it will not run out of space. When you are done just press the shutter button again to stop recording.
Then just look at your great video in the photos app! If your scene is very dark, like just stars, you’ll have to do a quick edit to change your black point.
An that’s it, you’re making night mode time lapse videos!
