Add olive oil to Instant Pot insert and set to Sauté. Once the oil is hot, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn off Instant Pot.
Stir in chicken broth, enchilada sauce, and Head Country Hot & Spicy BBQ Sauce. Be sure to use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits of onion that may have stuck to the bottom of the insert. Add cilantro, beans, tomatoes, corn, cumin, and oregano. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on High pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release pressure manually when done.
Keep on Warm setting and stir in turkey. The turkey should heat up after you stir it in, but if it's still cold, let it sit on the Warm setting for up to 5 minutes until warmed through. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
