Pumpkin Chili

These past few days, the two of us have come down with serious case of pumpkin fever! The fall weather is finally upon us and what better way to warm up this October than with a satisfying bowl of pumpkin chili? This recipe is super satisfying on its own, but is even more delicious served beside a grilled cheese sandwich! 

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey meat
1 yellow pepper diced
1 small onion diced
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree *(NOT pumpkin pie filling!)
1 15 oz can black beans not drained
1 15 oz can pinto beans not drained
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes not drained
2 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

optional:
sour cream or yogurt

• In a large skillet, brown turkey meat with pepper, onion, and olive oil.
• While the meat and veggies are cooking, add cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. 
• When the meat is finished cooking, add pumpkin puree, beans and tomatoes in their juices.
• Cover pan and simmer chili until completely warm.
• Divide chili into bowls and top with either sour cream or plain non fat greek yogurt.

**Makes about 6 servings!
**Replace meat with an additional can of beans for a vegetarian option!
