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 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne

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.
