Pumpkins are such a hot ingredient in the kitchen these days. It's no wonder since cans of pumpkin are showing up at grocery stores this time of year. Most folks will grab them to make something sweet, such as a pie, cookies, cake or some delicious fall inspired dessert. But don't forget canned pumpkin is just as delicious to use in savory recipes too! This amazing Pumpkin Chili will now be in my fall recipe rotation for years to come. I love how pumpkin adds such a delicate sweetness to the southwestern flavors of this hearty chili...

This recipe comes from Christine of Christine's Kitchen Chronicles, who was skeptical about the combination of pumpkin and ground turkey. I'll admit, I was skeptical as well but that was soon forgotten once I tried this dish. It's a chili that's perfect for fall and it's brimming with flavors, textures and colors. With the colorful bell peppers, kidney and black beans, and sweet corn all in the mix, the pumpkin lends subtle sweet notes and is delicious with ground turkey. You could also use ground chicken if you prefer. To serve, you can't forget a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped fresh cilantro!
