Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Wow, have I gotten out of the habit of posting my recipes!  Here's to a new week!  My goal is to post one of our "2 thumbs up" recipes at least twice a week.  The recipe for today?  Pumpkin Turkey Chili!  When my husband saw this on our weekly menu he was a little skeptical.  But guess what?  He actually enjoyed it!  And the kids did, too.  

It is October which means it's pumpkin time!  You probably see ads for Pumpkin Spiced Lattes and see all kinds of pumpkin treats and recipes all around you.  I'll be sharing quite a few pumpkin recipes as well.  I hope you enjoy this chili as much as we did. ;)
