Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 pasilla chili pepper diced
1 large red bell pepper diced
1 medium red onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 lb ground turkey chicken or extra lean ground beef work too
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
4 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup tomato sauce
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes I used fire-roasted
4 cup low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable broth
1 (15 oz) can great northern beans
1 (15 oz) can black beans
1/2 (15 oz) can dark red kidney beans

Instructions

In a large pot set over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the peppers and onion. Cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the ground turkey and cook for 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Add the pumpkin puree, tomato sauce, tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sauce from burning.
Pour in the chicken stock, then add the beans. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and allow to cook for 1 hour.
Remove from heat and serve as-is or with desired toppings.

Notes

-This has great flavor without being spicy. Try adding 1 diced jalapeño to really heat things up!
