Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground turkey over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Add olive oil, onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add cannellini beans, pumpkin puree, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
- For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
- Chili tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld.
