Featured Ingredients

Poblano Peppers: roasted poblano peppers not only add a bit of heat but delicious flavor as well. Ground Turkey: We love that ground turkey adds a boost of protein with not a ton of fat. Head of Garlic: that’s right, this turkey pumpkin chili calls for a whole head of roasted garlic. Canned Pumpkin: canned pumpkin is super easy to find during the fall and winter. Stock up now! Pinto Beans: we’re adding fiber and protein with pinto beans. Feel free to swap with any other bean. Tomato Products: the tomato products needed include diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Maple Syrup: maple syrup is our secret ingredient – it balances out the heat and brings out the flavors of the poblano, pumpkin, and chili seasonings. Spices: the spices needed for this chili are simple — chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. You can always swap for 3-4 tablespoons of our homemade chili seasoning.
