Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1/2 cup celery thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
- 1 lb ground turkey 93% lean
- 2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes fire-roasted, 14.5 oz
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 14.5 oz
- 1 can Kidney Beans drained and rinsed, dark red, 14 oz
- 1 can pumpkin puree 14.5 oz
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- black pepper freshly ground, pinch
- 2 bay leaves dried
- 1/4 cup parsley minced, fresh
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add in the pepper, onion, celery, and garlic, and cook until they begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rest of the oil and the turkey to the pan. Cook until the turkey begins to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain off any of the liquid.
- Add in the spices and cook until the turkey is no longer pink and the spices are fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add in the broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, beans, pumpkin purée, tomato paste, salt, and pepper, and stir until well combined. Then, bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir in the bay leaves, turn the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once simmered, remove the bay leaves and stir in the parsley. Season to taste with more salt, if desired.
