This is our new favorite meal. It’s easy and delicious and the pumpkin gives the chili a smooth, slightly nutty flavor. Decorate a bowl with green onions, avocado, tomatoes, cheese and a few crushed tortilla chips.
Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Pumpkin is a good source of Vitamin A and adds a nutty flavor to the chili
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp of coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 ounces of canned chopped green chilis
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their liquid
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp of chili powder - I use chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp of ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- Topping ideas
- Chopped Avocado
- Plain Greek Yogurt
- Tortilla Strips
- Small Heirloom Tomatoes
- Shredded Cheese
- Diced Green Onion
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and brown for about 5 minutes.
- Add in turkey and break into small pieces until fully cooked.
- Add in garlic and green chilis.
- Add tomatoes, pumpkin, water, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ladle into bowls, top as desired and enjoy.
Notes
- The amount of green chilis, chili powder and cumin can be adjusted to your taste.
- When browning up ground turkey, I do several pounds at once and then package in freezer bags - this makes the putting together of this dish in the future a breeze.
- You can do the same with onions.
- Leftovers breeze beautifully.
