Kylene’s Pumpkin Patch Chili • 1 lb ground turkey or ground beef • 1–2 Tbsp olive oil (skip if using fatty beef) • 1 large onion, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 bell pepper (red or orange), diced • 2 carrots, diced • 1 rib celery, diced (optional) • 2 tsp mild chili powder • 1 tsp cumin • ½ tsp smoked paprika • 1-2 diced canned chipotle peppers (blend in with roasted tomatoes) • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste) • ½ tsp black pepper • 4 cups tomatoes (sliced in half and roasted skin side up) • 2 cups pumpkin purée (roast pumpkin and blend it with some broth until smooth) • 3 cups cooked black beans (or 2 cans, rinsed and drained) • 3–4 cups broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable — adjust for thickness) • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen) • Giant handful chopped kale • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (to finish) Optional veggies that blend in well: • 1–2 cups diced zucchini (disappears into the texture) ________________________________________ Directions – Stovetop 1. Brown the meat: In a large pot, cook ground turkey or beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed. 2. Sauté veggies: Add onion until golden. Then add garlic, bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened (5–7 minutes). 3. Add seasonings: Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chipotle/cayenne, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1 minute to release flavors. 4. Simmer: Add blended tomatoes (with chipotle peppers), pumpkin purée, black beans, frozen corn, kale, (chopped leeks because I didn’t have enough onions), shredded zucchini (if using) and broth. Stir well. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook 20–25 minutes until veggies are tender and flavors blend. 5. Finish: Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Adjust salt/spice to taste. ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Serving Ideas • Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, or avocado slices. • Sprinkle with cilantro or green onions. • Serve with cornbread, rice, or a slice of crusty bread.
