Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Add ground turkey to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until spices are fragrant.
  5. Add pumpkin puree, rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld.
  7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the ground turkey and add an extra can of black beans or kidney beans.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of heat.
  • This chili can be made ahead of time and reheats well.
  • The longer the chili simmers, the deeper the flavors will become.
