Turkey Pumpkin Chili

It has been freezing here which means it is time for chili. It is also fall which means all things pumpkin are in full effect. So why not pumpkin chili? OK so if you look closely at the ingredient list, yes, this does have caramel ice cream topping which may seem kind of weird. Don’t knock it until you have tried it. This is some of the best chili. It is sweet and savory. If you decide to try it let me know what you think.
