So I completely understand that no one wants to think about pumpkins right now.. this needs to be tropical chili to remind us of summer not fall! Anyway, I was craving something to really hit the spot during 21 Day Fix and boy did this do it! I had my best friend come over, who isn't on the fix and try it. No joke.....She licked the bowl. I also sent a bowl to my other friend who is a health and fitness fanatic and he really enjoyed the texture and the taste as well. I got the base for the recipe from Pinterest and made some changes to my liking! Feel free to spice it up and make it your own.  

Serves: approximately 6-8 servings
Serving size: 1 1/2 cups
Time: 4-6 hours on low in crockpot
21 day fix approved: 1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow,1/2 blue (optional) 

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of lean ground turkey ( I used 93% lean 7% fat)
  • Approx 3/4 C. chopped onion ( give or take make this your own)
  • 1 bell pepper chopped (any color will do)
  • 1 small hot banana pepper
  • 1 large can of fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can of tomato paste
  • 1 can of great northern beans 
  • 1 can of kidney beans
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 1/2 cup of frozen sweet corn
  • 1 can of pumpkin puree ( not pumpkin pie filling!)
  • 2-3 cloves of minced garlic
  • 2 T. chili powder ( I added much more than this but I like mine spicy
  • 1/2 tsp of cumin
  • Hot sauce ( I used cholula)

Instructions

Place all of ingredients in crock pot on low for 4-6 hours. I cooked mine for about 6 hours. Serve warm. Top with a dollop low fat cottage cheese (this is what I used) or plain low fat greek yogurt and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
