Turkey pumpkin chili!

I've been pretty obsessed with all things pumpkin lately. So when I saw a recipe for turkey pumpkin chili, I was excited at the prospect but also trepidatious. It seems like a pretty odd combo. The original recipe that we went for was didn't call for beans so it was rejected. "Glorified soup!" my husband declared! So we found this one on SkinnyTaste.com instead! And bonus, it's pretty healthy! We tweaked it a bit because we didn't want it super spicy for the lil monkey! We left out the green chile and used half a red bell pepper and half a yellow bell pepper instead. We also added a bit of garlic and onion powder and my husband was heavy handed with the oregano because he used the wrong side of the shaker lol. Oh and we only had one pound of turkey so it was a bit light on the meat. We served it with some shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream and it was delicious! Now, the lil monkey didn't like it*, but her daddy and I loved it! I think it's the best chili that we've ever made! It's definitely in the rotation for fall (possibly year round!) I'd say that it was a huge success! * = The lil monkey ate more than half of it before she turned her nose up at it so she did pretty well with it.
