Pumpkin Chili Recipe

Updated on May 17th, 2023

I know to some pumpkin turkey chili may sound a little odd, but surprisingly, it’s really good. If you are worried about it having a strong pumpkin flavor, it does not. It is actually very pleasant. This is a great way to make good use of those fresh pumpkins this time of year. You can also use canned pumpkin if you prefer. The recipe itself is very basic; you can add additional spices such as cumin if you choose. It would also be a good idea to adjust the amount of chili powder to your liking; some people might like a little more seasoning. You can add beans if you like, I added a can of kidney beans and a can of black beans into the mix.
