This is a perfect no bean chili to make throughout fall and winter!
Ingredients
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 1 yellow pepper chopped
  • 1 orange pepper chopped (you can use half of each pepper color if you like less peppers)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1½ - 2 pounds ground turkey. ( I usually just use the organic Costco size. I know it is over a pound but not quite 2 pounds)
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
  • 1½ tablespoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Topping

  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • sour cream
Instructions
  1. Heat 3-4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Chop up your peppers and onion, mince your garlic, and then add to the skillet. (I like using all of the peppers but if this is too much you can just use half of each color.
  3. Cook them up until tender.
  4. Add in your ground turkey and cook until browned.
  5. Pour the meat mixture into your crock pot.
  6. Open up your diced tomatoes and canned pumpkin. Add those into your crock pot and then season with chili powder, pepper, and salt.
  7. Stir it all up and then cover and set on low, and cook for 4-5 hours.
  8. Dish into bowls and then garnish with crushed tortilla chips or Fritos, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
