    Pumpkin Chicken White Bean Chili~ It is the season and this is really good!
    Only 180 calories and 3g of fat per cup :)

    Brown 1lb 99% lean ground turkey
    1/2 tsp olive oil
    1 small onion, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tsp chili powder, to taste
    2 bay leaves
    2 tsp cumin
    1 tsp oregano
    1 or 2 (15 oz cans) of white northern or navy beans, rinsed and drained
    15 oz can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
    4.5 oz canned chopped green chile
    2 cups low sodium, fat free chicken broth
    fat free sour cream for topping (optional)
    chopped cilantro and chives for topping (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste

    Brown the ground chicken in a pan. Add beans, broth, pumpkin filing, green chiles, and seasonings except the cumin into your slow cooker. Saute the onion and garlic with the cumin and olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Add the ground chicken and sauteed onion and garlic to the slow cooker once its ready. Slow cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, remove bay leaves before serving.

    I added chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder to the ground chicken while browning it because I like lots of flavor.

    These were posted in the first thread, and I made them last night for dinner- family loved them - well the kids don't eat chili, but both boys LOVED the corn bread!!! and everyone else loved the chili!

    I made this in my crock pot last night - not only does it taste pretty good, but my apartment smelled AMAZING when I woke up today!


    2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed macintosh apple
    3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
    1 1/2 cups cleaned and cubed butternut squash
    1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

    2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1 tablespoon honey

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread apple, sweet potato, and squash on a greased cookie sheet, then sprinkle with the pumpkin pie spice. Roast for 10-15 minutes.

    Transfer the roasted veggies to a crock pot and top with 2 cups of vegetable broth, a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and a tablespoon of honey. Cook on low for 6 hours. Mash vegetables for last half hour of cooking, or use a blender after the soup has cooled to give it a smooth, creamy texture.

    4 servings, 165 calories each.
    This sounds amazing!

    Bumping means it will save this forum under "My Topics" so you can find it again later.

    Lentils absorb flavor pretty well so it depends what you cook it with. If you cook it down plain in just salted water it's kind of bland.
