Ladle generous servings into bowls and load it up with your favorite toppings. We like to top ours with shredded cheese, sour cream, pepitas, green onions, avocado, and chips.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pumpkin Puree Power 🎃Bloom the spices with the pumpkin puree to intensify their flavor and release their essential oils before adding liquid ingredients.
- Bean Texture Trick 🫘Slightly mash a portion of the white beans against the pot's side to create a thicker, more luxurious chili texture without using additional thickeners.
- Layered Spice Strategy 🌶️Add ground spices in stages - first when sautéing the aromatics, then again when browning the turkey, and a final pinch when adding the broth to build complex, deep flavor profiles.
- Sweet Potato Precision ✂️Cut sweet potatoes into uniform, small 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain undercooked.
- Flavor Depth Technique 🥄Deglaze the pan with a splash of vegetable broth after browning the turkey to capture all the delicious browned bits (fond) for maximum umami flavor.
