Method
1. Heat the oil. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the vegetables. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, diced carrot and cubed pumpkin. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Cook the meat. Add the ground turkey or beef to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
4. Add the beans and pumpkin. Stir in the black beans, kidney beans, pumpkin puree and diced tomatoes.
5. Add the broth and spices. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Simmer the chili. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Adjust seasoning. Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper and/or spices to suit your taste.
8. Serve. Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, fresh cilantro or avocado slices. Or all of the above!
