PUMPKIN CHILI

Don't be alarmed. This does not even taste like pumpkin. It is absolutely divine, and so healthy! Better yet, it only takes 30 minutes and it tastes like it has been simmering all day.Great for diebetics or for people on a diet. You could even make this vegetarian by leaving out the turkey and adding beans. I made this at work and all 60 customers who ate it loved it. Perfect for freezing. Very easy recipe. I added carrots and celery to mine. To make it even easier, you can use canned roasted bell peppers.

INGREDIENTS Yield:6

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups pumpkin puree
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash salt
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and garlic until tender. Stir in the turkey, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, and mix in tomatoes and pumpkin. Season with chili powder, pepper, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Serve topped with Cheddar cheese and sour cream.
