Turkey Pumpkin White Bean Chili
This is my favorite white bean turkey pumpkin chili recipe!! A perfect fall chili made with pumpkin puree, ground turkey, white beans, green chili and spices. Top this with chopped fresh cilantro, scallions, jalapeños, or cheddar and serve it with baked chips on the side for a wonderful lunch or dinner. You can make this in the crock pot or in the Instant Pot. For a tomato based version, try this Turkey Pumpkin Chili recipe.
This pumpkin turkey chili comes out great in the slow cooker! The pumpkin is not sweet at all, in fact, if you don’t mention it, no one would even know it’s there but it does add beautiful color and creaminess to the chili and for picky eaters, a great way to sneak in vegetables. This is pretty mild as far as heat goes, if you want more kick use chipotle chili powder in place of the chili powder and use it according to your taste. Leftovers can be frozen, enjoy!
