This time of year, almost everyone is up to their gills in pumpkin recipes. There’s a good reason for that—pumpkin is an extremely versatile fruit that works well in both sweet and savory dishes. While pumpkin bread or pumpkin pie might be your go-to, it’s time to give pumpkin chili a try!

chili in the slow cooker

As soon as the temperatures dip a little, we start to add chili to our dinner rotation frequently. Of course, in Texas, that dip means anything under 90°, so we tend to make our chili in the slow cooker to avoid heating up our still-warm kitchen. This also allows time for the flavors to meld together and creates that perfectly spicy-savory bowl we’ve all come to love.

Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Now, this pumpkin chili is anything but traditional. First off, I use ground turkey to make the dish lighter, and then add a mixture of beans instead of a single variety (or none at all). Unexpected spices like cinnamon and cocoa powder give it depth that plays off the spice, and pumpkin puree adds a slight sweetness that makes this a dish the whole family can enjoy.

Pumpkin Turkey Chili Slow Cooker

Pumpkin Turkey Chili Slow Cooker why ? You can certainly stir in fresh cubed pumpkin or butternut squash, but since I used the slow cooker I wanted to make things as easy as possible. By opting for the puree, you can definitely “set it and forget it” and come home to a fragrant bowl of pumpkin chili. Serve each bowl with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a slice of hearty wheat bread for a complete meal!

This recipe freezes well, too, so scoop any leftovers (if you’re lucky enough to have them) into individual servings for perfect lunch portions.
