Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds of lean ground turkey
- 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) of diced tomatoes with an Italian flair
- 1 pound of pre-cooked lentils
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) of pureed pumpkin
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) of pinto beans, washed and dried
- 1 package (12 ounces) of frozen pearl onions
- 1 can (8 ounces) of diced green chile peppers
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 cup of water
- ¼ cup of rich brown sugar
- ¼ cup of zesty chili powder
- 2 tablespoons of aromatic pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon of onion powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste
Step 1
Begin by browning the turkey in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 5 to 8 minutes, ensuring it gets a nice golden hue. Once done, drain any excess liquid.
Step 2
Now, transfer the flavorful turkey to a slow cooker and get ready to add a delightful mix of ingredients. Combine juicy tomatoes, hearty lentils, creamy pumpkin puree, wholesome pinto beans, pearl onions, zesty green chile peppers, and aromatic garlic. To enhance the taste, stir in some water, a touch of brown sugar, a sprinkle of chili powder, a hint of pumpkin pie spice, a dash of onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Cover the slow cooker and let the magic happen on Low heat setting for a duration of 6 to 10 hours, allowing all the diverse flavors to blend harmoniously. Enjoy the tantalizing aroma that fills your kitchen as you patiently wait for the culinary masterpiece to be ready.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Embrace the magic of mason jars by storing individual portions of your chili in them. They not only look stylish but are also practical for quick reheating.
- 2. Get creative with silicone ice cube trays to freeze leftover chili in convenient portions. Simply pop out a cube or two when you're craving a spooky chili fix.
