Ingredients

  • 1 lb 450 g ground turkey breast
  • 1 tsp olive oil 5 ml
  • 1 tsp salt 5 g
  • 4 cloves garlic minced (12 g)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin 2 g
  • ½ tsp black pepper 1 g
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste 30 g
  • 1 medium onion diced (150 g)
  • 1 red bell pepper diced (120 g)
  • 2 cups diced pumpkin 300 g
  • 1 can 15 oz white beans, drained and rinsed (425 g)
  • 1 can 14.5 oz crushed tomatoes (410 g)
  • 2 cups chicken broth 480 ml

Instructions

  • Season the Turkey: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey breast with cumin, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning throughout the turkey.
  • Sauté the Turkey: In a large pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned turkey to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Push the turkey mixture to one side of the pot. In the empty space, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix well: Mix the turkey and vegetables together in the pot, ensuring everything is well combined.
  • Add the Pumpkin and Beans: Add the diced pumpkin to the pot, stirring to coat it with the turkey and vegetable mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the pumpkin to start softening.
  • Add beans: Stir in the drained and rinsed white beans.
  • Add broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  • Serve: Once the chili has finished cooking, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or sliced avocado.
