Very good! I added diced tomatoes with jalopenos, couple Tbsp salsa and a splash of Spicy V8. I left out the cinnamon. Very good. Got rave reviews from my coworkers!!!

The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because I modified the recipe quite a bit. Like other commenters I added an extra can of tomatoes and I almost had to triple the amount of chili spice to give it some flavor. My boyfriend, being a spice fiend, added a bunch of tobasco sauce as well, which gave it a great kick and tempered the sweetness. I also used ground chuck instead of turkey, which gave it a richer flavore. This is a great hearty chili though and I would highly recommend the recipe to anyone and everyone!

Great chili! I liked how it wasn't too spicy -- the hubs can't deal with spicy food. I made a couple of adjustments. I added 1 tbs of pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and then about a cup of chicken stock to thin it out. LOVED the flavor!

Amazing! Like other reviewers, I doubled the chili powder, added cumin and oregano, and doubled the tomatoes. I also added a half a beer and half a can of tomato sauce to increase the liquid. I think this is the best chili I have ever had.

Great base but if you have never made chili, but have eaten a lot of chili, this will disappoint you. It definitely needs more spices, as well as beans or corn(IMO). I probably tripled the spices, added cumin, hot sauce, a tad bit of curry, hot peppers, and 1/2 a can of tomato paste to give it some more flavor/zing. So for you chili-lovers, I would use the pumpkin as an inspiration but use your imagination or tried and true chili recipe as a base.

Not 5 stars only because I changed the original recipe per the other reviews - fabulous base recipe. We were having a decent number of people over for a Halloween/birthday party (24) so, I doubled the recipe. For the spices I used 3 small onions, 10-12 garlic gloves (chopped in mini food chopper), 3 generous TBSP chili powder, 2 tbsp worcestershire, 2 bay leaves, cumin and 4 cans of flavored diced tomatoes (basil & garlic) with the juice. Also, I put some water (less than 1/4 of a can) in the cans to get all of the juice out & poured that in too. No peppers, beans or corn due to dislikes (mine & husband's). Simmered it for a little bit in a large pot and then transferred to a crock-pot to keep warm, serve at the party. Had bowls of sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese on the side. It was a HIT - we have none left. People were amazed when I told them there was pumpkin in it!! It was not overly spicey which I think worked well given the large number of people with varying likes/dislikes.

I served this at a party and it was the hit of the night. I didn't tell anyone what was in the chili, and they all, including my husband who doesn't think he likes pumpkin, RAVED about it! They all said it was a do-again. And, yes, I did tell them (not my hubby tho)the ingredients - they all want the recipe. A hit!

This chili is awesome. I used ground beef instead of turkey, and added about a cup of beef broth and a can of corn to it. I also doubled the amount of seasoning and added red pepper flakes for some heat.The texture was really great though, and the pumpkin added a smooth, mild flavor.

This is really good! I only gave it four stars because I had to make some modifications to get it up to speed. I took the hints offered by others, namely, doubled the pumpkin (I used one of the ginormous cans), petite diced tomatoes (another ginormous can), added a can of corn (drained), and a can of black beans. I used 3 and a half tablespoons of chili powder, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire, and about a tablespoon of red pepper flakes. I also added two bay leaves, and almost a full can of chicken stock. I didn't have much of that left over, so I suppose I could have used the whole can. Everything else was pretty much as the recipe calls for, but I did let it simmer 30 minutes instead of 20. I chose to use a yellow bell pepper and an orange bell pepper to go along with the autumnal theme. I also didn't have to drain the initial saute, since the turkey had so little fat. But I did transfer it at that point to a Dutch oven before adding all of the other ingredients. I'm glad I did because it would never have fit in the skillet! Thanks to the advice I got from other reviewers, it had just the right amount of bite, and just the right consistency. I would totally make this again.

Delicious! I did change some things to accomodate our tastes, but this is a great recipe. I omitted the onion and bell peppers, replaced the diced tomatoes with 2 cans of Rotel, added a can of corn, a can of fat free chicken broth, and a tablespoon of cumin. I also added a can of red beans, as we love beans in our chili. The cumin took away most of the pumpkin flavor, but that was fine by me. I was just happy to have incorporated such a healthy food into the dish. Thank you so much, I will be making this often this winter.

This was such an easy chilli recipe. I wasn't sure about the pumpkin but it gives it a smooth, rich consistency. I used whole tomatoes which I broke up with a wooden spoon while cooking, added 1 can kidney beans, and added some sugar to take the edge off the tomatoes. Its easy and tasty.

This was a good start. I made the recipe as it is written. With a few tweaks it would easily be a four or a five star recipe. I think I will make this again because it is budget friendly, I would add more garlic and add more pumpkin, and kidney beans.

This was delicious - perfect over rice or pasta for the first day of fall weather. The pumpkin adds a great texture and a subtle flavor. I did add some cumin and coriander, along with the other spices BEFORE the tomatoes and pumpkin. I also decreased the chili to 1 T. for my 2 year old who INHALED this! Lastly, I subbed red bell peppers for green and added some celery and carrots. So I guess it was more like a stew, but it was sooooooooooo good!

I love this recipe. I will make it for myself for dinner and lunches when my husband is not home. Very quick and easy. The strongest flavor was from the ground turkey, the pumpkin was not noticable. I also made some changes to the recipe. I left the peppers out, added additional chili powder to taste and added a little italian seasoning. As the other reviews noted, this is a thick chili so I added 1/2 of a can of tomato sauce to thin it out. I then took the left overs to work the next day to test on my Aunt who liked it but said maybe she would have opted for ground chicken or beef rather than turkey. I cooked this for my husband who is a picky eater. He did not notice any flavor of pumpkin in it but, did not like it. I don't normally cook with ground turkey so I think that was his problem.

I first made the chili as listed, and it was way too bland for me. So, following other reviewers suggestions, I used: 3 T chili powder, 1 T cumin, 1 tsp. cayenne, 1 T sugar. Also added 2 cans of beans and a couple chopped jalapenos. I should note, that by the time I was finished I could no longer taste the pumpkin, as it was pretty spicy! (The way I like it). Is it better than a traditional steak/beef/pork sausage type chili? Not to me. But, it is the best "healthy" chili I've ever made. **P.S. You know, we had this chili for leftovers a couple days later, and the flavor was definitely better. I'm changing my rating to 5 stars.

YUM! I read through all the reviews and added a can of black beans, a bag of frozen sweet corn, cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaves, and a dash of tabasco sauce. The longer it sits, the better it tastes as the flavors have time to blend. I served it with homemade cornbread. Just the right combo of sweet, spicy, and salt.

I made this for dinner last night and it turned out great! I made double the recipe so we can have chili dogs on Friday night. This recipe is perfect for chili dogs because it's nice and thick. I did make a couple of adjustments after reading the suggestions. I added black beans and corn plus and extra chili powder. Although I doubled the recipe, I only added enough pumpkin for one recipe. I also added some beef stock along with the tomatoes. This gave it some added flavor. I will definitely make this again and probably tweak it some more - maybe add beer and chipotles next time! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
