  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

  3. Stir in pumpkin puree, crushed tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and chicken broth.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro, if desired.

  • For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • This chili freezes well. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
