If you like flavorful food with a kick of spice, this is the perfect Autumn dish to make when you are home and the weather is cold and grey outside.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
2 lbs. ground turkey
1/2 cup onion, chopped (yellow or white)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cumin powder
30 ounces of Great Northern white beans (pre-cooked or canned, drained/rinsed)
15 ounces 100% pumpkin puree (canned)
4 ounces green chili (canned)
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground oregano
3 bay leaves (discard after chili is fully cooked)
sea salt, unrefined
pepper, to taste


LET'S BEGIN:

1.  In a large iron skillet, heat 1 Tbs. coconut oil on medium-high heat.  Add ground turkey and cook thoroughly, about 5 minutes.  Drain.  Place in crock pot.

2.  Add remaining (1Tbs.) coconut oil to skillet and saute onion & garlic until soft, about 1 minute.  Add cumin powder to onion & garlic and saute another minute.  Add to crock pot.

3.  Place the remaining ingredients into the crock pot:  white beans, pumpkin puree, green chili, chicken broth, chili powder, ground oregano, & bay leaves. Add salt & pepper.  Mix well.  Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-8.  Before serving, remove the bay leaves.  Enjoy!
