  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large stock pot* over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the ground turkey and brown on both sides for 2 minutes.
  3. Chop the turkey into smaller pieces using a spatula and stir well. Add the bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, and sea salt. Stir for 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped tomato, beans, pumpkin puree and broth. Bring to a full boil and cook 30 minutes, until chili is thick and flavorful. (Note: The longer you cook it, the more the flavors will develop!)
  5. Serve with your choice of toppings in large bowls.
