Who knew that canned pumpkin was the key to your best pot of chili? It thickens the broth and boosts the flavor in an unexpected way, lending richness and a hint of sweetness. We prefer fire-roasted diced tomatoes here, but if you can’t find them, use regular diced tomatoes and bump up the smoked paprika by another one-fourth teaspoon.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Uncooked onion

2 cup(s), chopped

Poblano pepper

2 medium, seeded and chopped

Garlic

5 clove(s), minced

Uncooked ground turkey breast

1 pound(s)

Plain fat free Greek yogurt

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and poblano; sauté 5 minutes, stirring often.
  2. Add the garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add the turkey; cook until the turkey is no longer pink, breaking up with the back of a spoon, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chicken stock, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, tomatoes, beans, and pumpkin. Bring to a boil; partially cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Ladle the chili into bowls. Garnish with the yogurt, scallions, and avocado.
