  1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat.

  3. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks, until browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the black beans, pumpkin puree, and diced tomatoes.
  5. Season with chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  6. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Notes

A single can of pumpkin puree stirs into an entire pot of chili and adds richness without much added cost, while also stretching further than extra meat would.
