Ingredients

2 lbs. Ground Turkey
6 Slices of Bacon diced small
1 Orange Bell Pepper
1/2 Red Onion
14 oz. Fire Roasted Can Tomatoes
4.5 oz. can Green Chiles
3-4 Adobo Peppers
1/3 cup Pumpkin Puree
4 tbsp. Chili Powder
1 tbsp. Smoky Paprika
1 tbsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp Pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the spices together (chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne).
In a large pot, sauté the bacon until mostly crispy. Drain the majority of the bacon fat, leave a few tablespoons remaining,
Add in the ground turkey and break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add 3 tbsp. of the chili seasoning blend to the ground turkey and continue to cook and brown until no longer pink and cooked through.
Add in the diced onion and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add in the remaining spices and mix well.
Pour in the green chiles, pumpkin puree, adobo peppers and sauce, and the diced tomatoes. Stir until equally mixed and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
The chili is cooked, but tastes best when you reduce the temperature and let it cook, covered on low heat for at least a few hours.
