Looking for a healthier way to use those Thanksgiving leftovers? This easy chili uses leftover turkey and that extra can of pumpkin you bought “just in case” to make a simple white bean chili that will warm your family when they come back in from playing in the not-quite-winter chill.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded
  • 32 ounces reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 2 15 ounce cans no salt added white beans, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Saute onion, carrots and celery until slightly softened. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat through. For the best flavor, simmer together on a low heat or transfer to a slow cooker for a few hours.
