Turkey Pumpkin Chili
Pumpkin adds fall flavor — and a boost of nutrients — to this comforting chili.
If you have leftover turkey, you can substitute it for the ground turkey to use instead. Simply add it during the last 15 minutes of cooking to heat while avoiding overcooking.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow pepper, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
- 1 (15 oz.) can red kidney beans
- 1 ½ tbs. chili powder
- 1 ½ tsp. cumin
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Directions
STEP 1
Brown the ground turkey over medium heat in large skillet or Dutch oven.
STEP 2
Add in the yellow onion, green and yellow peppers, and garlic. Sauté for five to eight minutes.
STEP 3
Stir in the tomatoes, pumpkin purée, and red kidney beans. Season with chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
STEP 4
Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
STEP 5
Top with cilantro and/or jalapeño if desired.
