Crock-Pot Pumpkin Chili Recipe

Posted by Caryn Bailey Leave a Comment

{Sponsored} My secret weapon for getting fresh, homemade meals on the table for my family during the busy school year is my Crock-Pot.  It used to be that I reserved my time-saving slow cooker for simple dishes like chicken noodle soup and chili. But my longing to get creative in the kitchen has driven me to think outside the box, making everything from Steel Cut Oatmeal to Chocolate Cake in the Crock-Pot. Every year around this time, Crock-Pot hosts a contest to find the best slow cooker recipe from families across the country. The winner will receive $5,000, the title of Ultimate Crock-Pot Crock Star, and a feature on CrockPot.com. Here are the details regarding the Ultimate Crock-Pot Crock-Star Contest: 1. Visit CrockStars.com before October 31st, 2014 to submit a 1-minute video selfie preparing your original slow cooker recipe using your Crock-Pot. 2. Include the text-base recipe 3.Complete the contest registration form via the website or on the Crock-Pot Facebook page 4. Visit CrockStars.com for the complete contest rules

Crock-Pot Pumpkin Chili

One of my kids’ all-time favorite Crock-Pot recipes is an easy Turkey Chili.  In honor of the Ultimate Crock-Pot Crock-Star Contest, I am sharing my favorite recipe with a festive Fall twist.  Pumpkin is my super secret ingredient for making this chili creamy and flavorful, plus it adds one more vegetable and all of its accompanying nutrients.

Crockpot Pumpkin Chili Recipe
Ingredients
  • 1 pound of ground turkey breast
  • 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil
  • 1 can of organic diced tomatoes I use the "no-salt" variety
  • 1 can of white beans or 1/2 cup of dried white beans soaked and cooked
  • 1 can of pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream and chives for garnish
Instructions
  1. Sauté the ground turkey breast in olive oil
  2. Optional Sauté green bell pepper, onion and garlic with ground turkey breast
  3. Prepare dried beans by soaking in filtered water for 6-8 hours and simmering on low-medium heat for 1-2 hours
  4. Combine turkey breast, tomatoes, beans, pumpkin puree, and spices in Crock-Pot
  5. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours
  6. Serve with sour cream and fresh, chopped chives
This was the first time I’ve included pumpkin in my original chili recipe and my kids absolutely loved it. Not only did it add color and flavor to the recipe, it also added a layer of creaminess to the chili. Whether you’re a busy mom looking to get fresh, home-cooked meals on the table in the midst of sports and schoolwork, or you’re planning to host friends and family for a meal, Crock-Pot offers a wide variety of slow cookers to help make mealtime quick, easy, and practically effortless.
