Heather’s Double Squash Crockpot Chili

by

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

 

1 medium-sized butternut squash cubed

1 can pumpkin puree

2 cans white northern beans

1 cup Mexican corn

3 chicken boullion cubes

3 cloves garlic

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp cumin

1 tsp cinnamon

3 tsp onion salt

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 pound 99% lean, ground turkey, cooked

Here’s what you’ll do:

 

First, brown the ground turkey in a frying pab, then set it aside. Next, take the cubed butternut squash and put it in the crockpot with the garlic and boullion cubes. Let it cook on high for 4 hours.

 

Take your immersion blender and puree the squash and add it to the crockpot. You will also now add the turkey, beans, pumpkin, corn, and spices to the crockpot and allow it to continue to cook on low for 4 more hours. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you like your chili spicy, you can also add saracha or another hot sauce. That’s the way my hubby likes it!
