Pumpkin Chili

Compliments of Mary Siani --

Ingredients:

3lbs. Ground turkey (or grassfed ground beef)

1 onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced (I like red, yellow or orange)

1 14oz can of canned pumpkin (make sure it's just pumpkin)

1 tsp pepper

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 jar chipotle salsa

1 box of Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

1 tsp cumin


Directions:

This recipe is originally from Trader Joe's. It's just tweaked a little to take out the sugar and beans, etc. I never knew one could put sugar in chili. That just seems weird. All ingredients are available at Trader Joe's. If you don't have a TJ's in your area these ingredients are all available at your local natural grocery store.

Cook the ground turkey, diced onion and pepper in a large pot until the meat is crumbly and no longer pink.

Drain.

Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and then simmer for one hour.

(Note: Everyone in my family enjoyed this chili!!! Next time I will add beans to give it a bit more character and use the spicier chipotle salsa to turn up the heat.)
