  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion softens, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in pumpkin puree, diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and chicken broth.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, you can simmer it longer with the lid off.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
  • Leftover chili can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • This chili also freezes well for future meals.
