    I was going to post almost this exact recipe but you beat me to it! Black bean turkey pumpkin chili is the best, and it's low calorie. The main things I do differently are that I use v8 juice and water instead of chicken broth, and I add Mrs. Renfro's green jalapeño salsa.

    I am totally going to make a vegetarian version of this. On my stovetop. I don't have a slow cooker. It just sounds so good and the weather is FINALLY turning cool next week!

    I mix it into a packaged brownie mix. No eggs or oil. And bake. Sometimes I top these with some chocolate chips, and marshmallows. It’s a treat, but healthier than regular brownies, and easier than bean ones (bc the pumpkin is already mushy), and they have a yummy pumpkin taste. I wonder if adding pumpkin pie spice would be good. There’s also a good low cal pumpkin pie made with plain gelatin. I do it crustless.

    I tried this last night. The mix called for oil, eggs and water and I just did the pumpkin. Do you normally add the water with the pumpkin? The tasted great, but were kind of hard/dry/dense. I wondered if they would not be quite that way if I add the water next time.

    I love it mixed with Greek yogurt and sweetened with splenda. I add some pumpkin pie spice. It's also good with cottage cheese that way. I sprinkle that with nuts or flax meal and have it whenever.

    I also do the oatmeal thing.

    I mix it with Greek yogurt as well, but I use vanilla Greek yogurt with cinnamon and allspice.... So yummy. I haven't tried it with cottage cheese but I will be soon!

    Makes good soup, too. I don't really do recipes, but maybe puree together pumpkin, lotsa caramelized onions, cooked white beans, some pepitas or sunflower seeds, chipotle peppers, plus enough broth to make the right consistency. Swirl a little fromage blanc, Greek yogurt, or some such thing on top before serving, and a sprinkle more seeds (toasted, preferably).

    Canned pumpkin is loaded with nutrients! I made some yummy pumpkin pudding the other day. 1 can pumpkin, 1 box of silken tofu, 2tbs of date sugar, lots of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice...put everything in a blender with a little water to get it mixing. You can thin it out and drink as a smoothie, or bake it in a pie shell, or eat it as pudding. So good and feels decadent but is fairly low in calories
