Turkey PUMPKIN Chili

It's chilly outside. I have pumpkins on the brain......where am I going with this, you ask?
PUMPKIN CHILI, of course!! The perfect comfort food that will provide your waistline an excuse to continue to look fabulous in your skinny jeans, while satisfying your Fall appetite with good nutrition!

DID YOU KNOW? Pumpkin is high in FIBER and Vitamin A (beta-carotene, reduces health risks) as well as iron, potassium, magnesium and Vitamin C. It doesn't contain fat, and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!
