In a blender or food processor, combine the celery, green bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Blend until smooth, creating an aromatic puree.
Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and melt the butter with the avocado oil.
Add the aromatic puree to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant and slightly reduced.
Stir in the rinsed black eyed peas and the seasoning blend. Continue sautéing for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the peas are fully submerged. Nestle the smoked turkey drumstick and bay leaves into the pot.
Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to 'Sealing.'
Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Open the lid and carefully remove the turkey drumstick. Shred the meat from the bone and return it to the pot, discarding the skin and bones. Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Enjoy hot over rice with a piece of buttered cornbread for a traditional and delicious Southern meal.
