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.

It's one of those simple meals that even if you are alone, you don't mind making. Often times when I am baking potatoes for dinner, I will bake a few extra with the mind set of making this soup within a couple of days.

I splurge a tad when I eat this soup. Although, it does have some good sources of iron and calcium.
