Pumpkin Chili

Pin It Now!
 Pumpkin Chili


The pumpkin adds flavor, and vitamins, as well as a lovely, creamy texture to this chili.
 I served it with Rosemary Corn Muffins, for a wonderful autumn meal.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
  • 1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (15.25 oz.) black beans, drained
  • 1 can (4 oz.) diced green chiles
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole-kernel corn
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  •  
    Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Add turkey; cook until browned. Drain.

    Add tomatoes with juice, pumpkin, tomato sauce, beans, chiles, corn, chili powder, cumin and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
          I adapted a Libby's Pumpkin recipe a bit.




Even better the second day with
cheese, and plain yogurt on top!
