This recipe has become a regular at my house. I love the thick texture. I've substituted ground turkey at times and that comes out good as well.

I was skepticsl about the pumpkin in chili but thought it was delicious. Great use for leftover turkey breast.

What a great Chili! Cooked ground turkey ads a different texture, but is still great!

We loved this chili! I used cooked ground turkey instead of the cubed. I pureed it for my elderly aunt and she loved it! The whole family says It is so flavorful. It's going to be a regular at our house!
