Turkey White Bean Pumpkin Chili - slow cooker style

So, I found this recipe on skinnytaste.com and I loved the thought of putting pumpkin into chili. The only problem was that the recipe was really bland. I made some simple adjustments and it was perfect!!!

Fry up:
2 lbs of ground turkey breast
1/2 tsp oilive oil

Once meat is cooked, take out of frying pan and set aside. Add onions and olive oil back into the pan and fry until transparent.

1 tsp olive oil
1 large onion

Add the following spices and cook for 2 minutes.
4 cloves of garlic
3 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tbsp chili pwd
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp seasoning salt

Put cooked turkey in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the onions and spice mixture. Add the following ingredients and stir:

15 oz can of pure pumpkin
2, 15 oz cans of navy beans rinsed well and drained
5 oz can of green chile
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste

Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3. Garnish with green onions, sour cream and tortilla chips...yumm!!
Even my 10 months old loved it. He had quite the little toots but hey, beans will do that! :)
