Ingredients




1 medium onion, diced
1 jalapeño, finely diced
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1.2 pounds 93% lean ground turkey (1 lb is fine, my turkey comes in 1.2 lb package)
2 10 ounce cans diced tomatoes with green chilies (Ro'tel)
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 15 ounce can Canelli beans, rinsed (great northern beans would work as well)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Preparation

1 Using a large to medium greased pan (at least 3 inches deep) begin sautéing the onion and jalapeño with the 1/4 teaspoon of salt on a low-medium heat. 2 Once they begin to soften, add ground turkey. Stir frequently until turkey is cooked through and no longer pink. 3 Add cans of diced tomatoes. 4 Stir in beans, pumpkin and spices. 5 Allow to simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen. 6 Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parmesan and a few crackers. Enjoy.
