Instruções

Sauté vegetables: Liberally coat a large pot or Dutch oven with nonstick oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 7 minutes or until the onion softens. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Cook the meat: Add the ground turkey to the pot. Use a spatula or large spoon to break up the meat as it cooks. Continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked.

Stir in the white beans, diced tomatoes (with their liquid), tomato paste, pumpkin puree, broth, chili powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice), cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well, then reduce the heat and let the chili simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Just before serving, stir in the spinach leaves until they are wilted and evenly distributed throughout the chili. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, Greek yogurt, cilantro, or salsa.
