This recipe is amazing! The chili is the best I've ever cooked, and from my calculations it is about 250 calories for a hearty serving. :)

    Very similar to this recipe on whole foods website...which I just love. I sub black beans for kidney beans though. Nutritional info is at the end too.

    Serves 6
    Besides adding a sweet nutty flavor to dishes, pumpkin is a ready source of vitamin A, which boosts the nutrition content of this offbeat chili. Garnish each portion with a dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro.

    Ingredients
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 small yellow onion, chopped
    1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
    2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 pound ground white or dark meat turkey
    1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their liquid
    1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
    1 cup water
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

    Method
    Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeños and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook until browned. Add tomatoes, pumpkin, water, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and add beans. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes more. Ladle chili into bowls and serve.
