Turkey Pumpkin Chili
Football in the South is BACK!! And around here, football and chili (aka chili beans as some like to call it) go together like peas and carrots. There is nothing better than a hearty bowl of meat and beans topped with all of your favorite fixings on a cool Saturday or Sunday afternoon while watching your favorite team (GO WOLFPACK) bring home a victory!
Most chili recipes consist of ground beef, beans, tomatoes, and peppers; however, I like to switch things up a bit. I never know how my husband will react to new chili ingredients, but luckily, this pumpkin, turkey chili recipe was a winner
The turkey provides a lean protein option and the unexpected pumpkin adds a depth of flavor and nutrients. Pumpkin is packed with vitamin A and C, which are antioxidants shown to help prevent chronic disease and boost immunity. It is also full of potassium, which benefits heart health by lowering blood pressure.
I hope this healthy twist on a classic southern recipe will be a win at your next tailgate or football party!
