Turkey Chili With Pumpkin Recipe

Miki Kawasaki · January 7, 2021 ·

Whether you’ve got resolutions or not, January is a time for foods that are light yet hearty: ones that are fortifying enough to fight the cold temps while also helping you come down from the excesses of the holidays. To that end, we’re totally digging this recipe from the FreshDirect team for chili with a secret ingredient: pumpkin!

Turkey Chili With Pumpkin The recipe uses the puréed kind to add creaminess and just a hint of sweetness. There’s also ground turkey to keep things nice and lean, along with the traditional seasonings and add-ins to give the chili plenty of flavor and body. You can feel free to add cilantro, sour cream, tortilla chips, or any other toppings, although we think it’s pretty perfect on its own. Get the recipe below!
