In honor of all things pumpkin, I wanted to share another yummy Fall recipe that was graciously given to me by one of my loyal readers, Julie S.. Pumpkin is full of good for you things like beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, potassium, magnesium, and fiber, so enjoy this tasty comfort food meal and also know that it has health benefits too! Bon Appetit!

PUMPKIN TURKEY CHILI

You can turn ANY chili recipe into pumpkin chili just by adding a can of pumpkin to it. Here’s Julie S’s Chili recipe:

1 can chili beans (like kidney beans)

1 can pumpkin

1 can diced tomatoes

1 lb ground turkey

Zucchini (Cut in ¼” chunks)

Yellow squash (Cut in ¼” chunks)

3 cloves Garlic

1 whole onion, chopped

2 tablespoons Chili powder

1 tablespoon Cumin

½  teaspoon Cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon Black pepper

½ teaspoon Salt

1 tablespoon agave

Directions:

Sauté onions and garlic in oil, add ground turkey

transfer to big pot, add remainder of ingredients and simmer on low for 20 minutes.  Add more cayenne and black pepper for spicier chili. Add chipotle chili pepper for a smoky flavor.

Thank you Julie, for sharing this healthy and tasty treat!  Please share your favorite pumpkin or fall recipes in the comments section of this post.  You can either post a recipe or a link.
