It's getting pretty cold out, but it's still Fall which means that there is plenty of time for yummy recipes featuring squash, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes. Here is a quick chili that I made recently. It's on the healthy side because it uses lean turkey and it also has a fun autumn twist as one of the main ingredients is pumpkin. If I really love something, I just have to share it. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did.
Ingredients:
small onion-diced
large bell pepper-diced
2 jalepeños-diced
1 pound lean ground turkey
15oz diced tomatoes
15oz pumpkin puree
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
cilantro for garnish (optional)
sour cream or fat free greek yogurt (optional)
colby/jack cheese mix (optional)
Directions: In a large pot, heat up your olive oil and garlic. Sauté the diced onions, bell pepper, and jalepeños. Meanwhile, in a separate pan brown the ground turkey. Then add the turkey to the veggies. At this time add in the following ingredients: diced tomatoes, pumpkin puree, chili powder, and cumin. Bring the chili to a boil, then allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes. If you would like, garnish your chili with sour cream (non-fat greek yogurt is a healthier substitute), cilantro, and cheese before serving. Makes 6-8 servings.
Enjoy!
