Pumpkin Turkey Chili.

My husband suggested I blog about this delicious Turkey Pumpkin Chili I've made a few times since Jennifer blogged her recipe a few months ago. Here is my version with a few different twists. I cook by taste so if my directions appear haphazard, it's because they are. I assure you this chili isn't too pumpkin-y. I even made it once with sweet potato puree once and my husband didn't even notice the difference :)

Enjoy!

First you will need one or two assistants. One will do fine. I just prefer two.

Turkey Pumpkin Chili

INGREDIENTS:
olive oil

chopped onion (as much as you like)

2 chopped bell peppers (I buy whatever looks good, this time I used red and yellow)

1 clove garlic

1 pound ground turkey
2 cans of white beans (or your bean of choice)

1 large can diced tomatoes

1 large can pumpkin puree

chili powder, paprika, salt and black pepper to taste

TOP WITH

shredded Cheddar cheese

sour cream

DIRECTIONS

Saute the onion, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and garlic in olive oil until tender. Stir in the turkey and cook until evenly brown (Vegetarians can skip this step and add extra beans). Mix in tomatoes and pumpkin. Season with chili powder, paprika, pepper, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes. Serve topped with Cheddar cheese and sour cream.

Cheers,
