This Turkey Pumpkin Chili is the perfect fall meal for those cold and chilly nights. Packed with flavor and so much goodness. We love it with cornbread!
It’s October which means you’ve surely got to have a can of pumpkin lurking somewhere in your pantry or in the back of your cupboard, right? If you don’t, then run to the store and buy a can because you’re going to want to make this Turkey Pumpkin Chili.
There is nothing better than a bowl of hot chili on a cold fall or winter day. It always just hits the spot and warms you from head to toe.
I know the list of ingredients seems long, but I pinky swear this is really simple to make. It also doesn’t require any strange sort of ingredient that is going to cost you a fortune to buy, and then sit on on your cupboard shelf gathering dust.
This stuff is loaded with so much goodness and it’s incredibly simple to make!
If you’re wondering how good this really is, Parker had a second bowl of it and then had the leftovers a couple nights later. Remember, Parker is my child is would live on spaghetti and tacos if he could.
Now are you wondering if the pumpkin flavor is overwhelming in this?
Well I can promise you it’s not, but it just adds a subtle flavor. In fact, you could really add even more pumpkin puree if you are wanting a bolder pumpkin flavor.
Can I freeze this chili?
Yes! Wait until it is completely cooled to room temperature, then place it in a freezer safe container, place a piece of plastic wrap, right up against the chili and then put the lid on the container. Freeze it for up to 3 months. Once ready to reheat, thaw chili out, then warm up in a pot or microwave.
A bowl of this chili and big piece of my cornbread will definitely warm you right up.
