Easy & Healthy Pumpkin Turkey Chili Recipe: A Fall Favorite in Under an Hour
Embrace the flavors of fall with this simple and satisfying Pumpkin Turkey Chili recipe. With just 20 minutes of prep time, you can have a healthy and hearty meal on the table that the whole family will love.
October is the perfect time to celebrate all things pumpkin. While pumpkin spice lattes and desserts often steal the show, pumpkin can also be a delicious and nutritious addition to savory dishes. I’ve already explored the sweet side of pumpkin with recipes for muffins, cookies, cheesecake parfaits, brownies and even the beloved banana bread.
But with so many tempting sweet treats, it’s time to give pumpkin puree a chance to shine in a savory dish.
This Pumpkin Turkey Chili is the perfect family-friendly meal. It’s not only easy to make, but it’s also packed with flavor, lean protein, and essential nutrients. It’s a guilt-free way to enjoy the taste of fall.
This chili features lean ground turkey and pinto beans, both excellent sources of protein, keeping you feeling full and satisfied. The star ingredient, a full 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree, adds a creamy texture without the added fat, and boosts the nutritional value of this dish with iron, zinc, and fiber. I often make a big batch on Sundays, as the leftovers taste even better on days two and three.
To complete this comforting meal, top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and freshly sliced scallions. And don’t forget to serve it alongside a slice of warm skillet cornbread for a truly satisfying experience.
