Here is how you make Pumpkin Chipotle Chili:

Makes 6 very generous servings. Extra servings freeze beautifully.SKILLET METHOD:Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes until tender. Add turkey; cook until browned. Drain. (After draining, I blot my cooked meats with a paper towel to soak up more grease.)Add tomatoes with juice, pumpkin, tomato sauce, beans, chiles with juice, corn, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, salt, and pepper (cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Serve.CROCKPOT METHOD:(I don't use cooking spray or oil when I use the crockpot as the onions and peppers sweat out enough liquid to keep the turkey from sticking. This is up to you. The nutrional summary includes cooking spray. Adjust as necessary.) Turn crockpot on high. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, and turkey. Cook 2 to 3 hours until turkey is cooked through (check frequently as different brands of crockpots heat at different temperatures). Drain and blot excess grease. (To save time, you may cook up to this point in your skillet up to 2 days before. Store in refrigerator.)Return turkey mixture to crockpot. Add tomatoes with juice, pumpkin, tomato sauce, beans, chiles with juice, corn, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, salt and pepper (and cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired). Heat on low 6 to 8 hours, checking periodically. Add water if necessary; don't let the liquid evaporate. Serve.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ISOBEAIL.
