Plantain & Pumpkin Chili

the best no bean chili!

Equipment

  • crockpot or instant pot or stove top you decide!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey, my pref ground beef, chicken, or plant/soy based "meat"
  • 1 lg onion diced
  • 1 green pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 oz diced fire roasted green chilis sometimes I use two!
  • 15 oz pumpkin puree
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups beef bone broth*
  • 2 ripe plantains, cubed reserved for later

Instructions

  • Brown ground turkey, drain any grease off meat, sautee onions & peppers, add green chilies, spices and all other ingredients except plantains. Either simmer on low on stove top or dump everything into your slow cooker and set to low for apx 6hrs. Add cubed plantains apx 30mins to 1 hr before serving.

    To use instant pot; add meat, onions, peppers and sautee until meat is cooked thru. Drain and return to instant pot, add remaining ingredients and give a good stir. Hit chili/soup button 10-12mins and quick release. Add plantains and enjoy.

Notes

  • Bone broth adds a depth of flavor with no added sugar or msg or other rendom ingredients, you can substitute beef or chicken broth or stock, if using a broth I suggest cutting the salt in the recipe as some broths are really high in sodium
