Pumpkin Turkey Chili


Makes 8 Servings


Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 small onion, cut into ¼-inch dice (1 cup)
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, undrained
  • One 15-ounce can 100% pumpkin purée
  • One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping Choices: Shredded, reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, light sour cream or plain yogurt, fresh cilantro


Directions
  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and turkey and cook, breaking up the large pieces of meat, until no longer pink and the onions soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes, pumpkin, beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon and stir until combined.
  3. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes. Serve in individual bowls with optional toppings.
