Description

Ground turkey, pumpkin, and chili ingredients like black beans combine in a flavorful and surprisingly light chili recipe that's made in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups cubed fresh pumpkin
1 (15 ounce) can chili beans
1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon chili powder

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add turkey; cook, stirring often, until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any fat.
2 Transfer turkey to a slow cooker; stir in diced tomatoes, pumpkin, chili beans, black beans, onion, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and chili powder. Cover slow cooker.
3 Cook on Low until pumpkin is tender and starts to break apart, at least 3 hours.
