MOM'S PUMPKIN CHILI WITH TURKEY AND BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Dice onions, peppers, garlic. Add onions and peppers (not garlic) to large soup pan with olive oil over medium heat. Cook until onions begin to turn translucent.
• Add ground turkey and garlic. Cook until turkey is fully done.
• Add all other ingredients, bring to boil for 5 minutes stirring to make sure no sticking. Then turn down to medium low heat (3.5 on our stove) and cook uncovered for 1.5-2 hours. Much of the water will evaporate providing a thicker, more flavorful chili. Tweak spices and salt as-needed to suit your tastes before serving.
• Optional: we love garnishing our chili with the following ingredients: organic cheddar and/or pepper jack cheese, a dollop of organic sour cream, and fresh green onion or shallot leaves.
