WHY ADD PUMPKIN TO CHILI?

A simple, homemade chili should always be easy to prepare—but it also needs to be bursting with flavor to impress even the toughest critics.

Fortunately, there’s a secret ingredient that takes this turkey chili to the next level—and it might not be what you’d expect!

Pumpkin purée brings a rich, nutty sweetness that enhances the dish without overpowering its spicy, savory essence. Instead of competing with the flavors of jalapeños, chili powder, cumin, and tomatoes, it subtly amplifies them with a mildly sweet contrast. Once combined with other savory elements like chicken broth and ground turkey, the result is a perfectly balanced and crowd-pleasing chili.

Both black beans and kidney beans are included to add heartiness and texture, while ground turkey keeps the dish on the lighter side—so everyone at your Super Bowl party can enjoy seconds (or even thirds!) without a second thought!

HOW TO MAKE CHILI IN A MULTI-COOKER

It might come as a surprise, but a Tiger multi-cooker can be used in the same way as a slow cooker. With automatic settings designed for a variety of dishes, preparing game-day favorites—whether it’s BBQ pulled pork sandwiches or Cajun meatballs—becomes effortless.

For this flavor-packed turkey pumpkin chili, simply add the pan-browned turkey (refer to the ingredients tab for details), along with the spices, beans, tomatoes, peppers, and broth, into the inner pot of the multi-cooker. Selecting Programmed Menu #11 and pressing Start is all that’s needed before letting the magic happen!

When it comes to toppings, the possibilities are endless. Some of our favorites include shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado—but feel free to customize it to your liking! 🍲

This hearty chili delivers the bold, homemade flavors of a dish that tastes like it took hours to prepare. We’re confident that you and your family will love it!
