This Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili is delicious, filling, and healthy. It's great year-round, but the pumpkin makes it perfect for Fall!
I originally blogged about this chili, following a recommendation from my mom that I make it, about 3 years ago. I've been making it on the regular ever since. Even Sean, who tires easily of pumpkin, loves it.
Like many of my older posts, this one was in dire need of an update.
