Fall is Here and Chili is in the Air! 🍁🍂

As the leaves start to change and the air gets a little cooler, there’s nothing like a warm bowl of chili to cozy up with. But this isn’t your average chili—I’m putting a seasonal twist on it with Turkey and Pumpkin Chili! 🎃🍗

Question for you:

Does pumpkin belong ONLY in PSLs and pies, or are you willing to give it a shot in savory dishes like this? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏽

If you’re ready to try something new, here’s a super simple recipe for a hearty fall dinner:

Turkey Pumpkin Chili Recipe:

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans

• 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes

• 1 onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp chili powder

• Salt & pepper to taste

1. Sauté onions and garlic until softened.

2. Add ground turkey and cook until browned.

3. Stir in the pumpkin puree, black beans, and diced tomatoes.

4. Add the seasonings and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

5. Serve with your favorite toppings—cheese, sour cream, avocado, or even cornbread!

Give it a try and let me know what you think! 🍂🌶️

Chili Oil 🌶️
Healthy homemade chili oil, made with avocado oil, real spices, no preservatives. Simple ingredients, balanced heat, ready in minutes. Once you make it, you’ll never go back. I use a gentle heat method for this chili oil instead of pouring super-hot oil, I slowly heat the oil with the spices.
