This pumpkin chili recipe is full of the flavors of fall! With creamy pumpkin, turkey, white beans and a kick of spice, this is one dish the whole family will enjoy.
With fall in the air, I can’t help but crave hot, hearty dishes like chili. If you haven’t tried my turkey corn chili yet, you have to. It’s soooo good. But I wanted something a little different… and this sweet/spicy pumpkin chili recipe is it! If you’ve never tried pumpkin chili before, you’ll love the combination.

- 1 c. onion chopped
- 1 c. green pepper diced
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1 14-1/2 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 1 15 oz can of white beans, drained
- 1 ½ tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp pepper divided
- 1 tsp salt divided
- ¼ c. water
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion, turkey and green peppers, ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Cook until turkey is browned and onions are tender. Add in garlic, stir together.
- Transfer turkey mixture into crockpot and add in the rest of the ingredients, stir together.

Once it’s done, serve with a big dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese. And if you’re like me, you’ll want a big hunk of cornbread to pair with the pumpkin chili as well.
