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)

2 tablespoons Chili powder

1 tablespoon Cumin

½  teaspoon Cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon Black pepper

½ teaspoon Salt
