Crock Pot Pumpkin Black Bean Chili takes advantage of leftover turkey meat. Or you could use leftover cooked chicken instead. Don't have any leftover turkey or chicken? Use a Rotisserie chicken instead.
Dice the onion, red bell pepper and mince the garlic.
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a sauté pan and sauté the onion and bell pepper until the onion is translucent. Add the minced garlic to the pan and toss for 2 minutes.
Pour the contents of the sauted onion, bell pepper and garlic into a 7-quart crock pot.
Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, pumpkin puree and cooked turkey to the slow cooker.
Next add the seasonings and the chicken broth to the slow cooker.
Stir to combine. Cover the crock pot with the lid and slow cook for 4 hours on high or low for 6 hours.
