As the leaves begin to change coloUrs there’s nothing quite like the comfort of a hearty bowl of chili to welcome the fall season. But this time, we’re taking chili to a whole new level. Say hello to my Turkey, Pumpkin, and White Bean Chili.

This amazing chili is made with lean ground turkey, veggies, white beans and just a hint of pure pumpkin which adds a nice creaminess to the chili. Pumpkin hater?
