gluten free pumpkin chili

Warm up on a cold night with a bowl of this hearty pumpkin chili. This dairy free recipe is loaded with tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, and ground turkey, making it delicious and filling.

There’s nothing like a bowl of chili to warm up on a cold night. Thick broth, beans, spices, and some meat make a hearty dinner in the fall.

And if you happen to be baking fall treats, like these pumpkin chocolate chip bars, or this vegan loaf cake, you might have some pumpkin puree left over – don’t you hate that?

What do you do with leftover canned pumpkin? Make this pumpkin chili – it’s the perfect way to use up some leftover pumpkin.

This is a very family friendly chili recipe – I’ve kept it quite mild because my children don’t want anything that’s too hot. There is a little kick, but you can increase or decrease the amount of chili powder to your liking. Or add some hot sauce if you like!

What to serve with this chili:

  • Gluten Free Vegan Corn Muffins
  • Toast with Roasted Garlic spread on top
  • Simple Red Cabbage Slaw

If you love easy chili recipes, try this white chicken chili or this hearty fiesta chicken chili.

Why add pumpkin to chili?

Canned pumpkin doesn’t do much to change the flavor of this chili, but it does add richness and body to the chili. Plus, pumpkin contains fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, which is a nice way to boost the nutrition of this recipe.

What can I use instead of onions in this recipe?

You could use scallions if you prefer, or you could add some fresh garlic to boost the flavor.

What can I use instead of ground turkey?

You can substitute ground beef or ground bison, or if you are vegan, feel free to add more beans, like pinto beans or garbanzo beans.

Can I freeze leftover pumpkin chili?

Yes, you can freeze these leftovers! I recommend freezing them in individual portion sized freezer containers. It should stay fresh in the freezer for three months.
