Spicy Turkey Chili with Pumpkin
When I woke up and looked outside today we had a little bit of morning gloom. Although there was no rain, I couldn't help but think of "April showers bring May flowers", and hoping we get a little more rain before Summer comes. I love warming up my house by cooking something in the kitchen all day. Slow cooked meals are some of our favorites, and I love being able to prepare the meal early and come home to a house that smells wonderful!
I've always loved cooking chili in the slow cooker, and for the last few years have been trying to get my recipe just right. Pretty early on we decided that we wanted it hot and spicy and made with turkey instead of beef. About a year ago, I thought I had it just the way we liked it, until I discovered a chili recipe that called for pumpkin. Pumpkin and chili? How awesome did that sound!? I simply added the pumpkin to my regular chili recipe and it was fantastic! I have added pumpkin to my chili ever since.
