Chili Time And Pumpkin time! So Let's do Pumpkin Black Bean Turkey Chili!

OK, girls. They tell me it is cool here in Florida so it is time to fix chili. Seriously, lots of folks are seriously saying it's cool/cold and they are fixing chili. I, personally, have not noticed cool weather. I am still in flip flops and shorts. No sweaters, no fleece, no boots.....no cool weather. But I decided to go with the flow and make some chili!! I found a new recipe and it is good!

Pumpkin Black Bean Turkey Chili

Saute:

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper

3 minced garlic cloves

2 TBSP butter or margarine

2 TBSP oil

Stir in:

1 1/2 tsp oregano

1 1/2 - 2 tsp ground cumin (I omitted this by accident and it was still good.)

2 tsp chili powder

Cook for on low while you brown 1 lb ground turkey sausage OR 1 lb ground turkey meat.

Transfer all to crockpot.

Stir in:

2 15 oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained

16 oz can pumpkin

14 1/2 oz. diced tomatoes

3 cups chicken broth

Cover and cook on low 7 to 8 hours.

Yes, there is pumpkin in the chili. I really like it. I used the turkey sausage instead of ground turkey and it was great!
