I made this chili even though I was a little skeptical with pumpkin, but it’s the fall so why not?
What a huge hit, best chili I ever had, thank you for the recipe!
Making it again as soon as possible.
Another recipe that Erin hit out of the park! I’m currently doing a round of whole30 but this will be my new go-to chili recipe. The pumpkin purée is such a treat in thickening the chili and giving it so much flavor. Loved it and didn’t even miss my sour cream/cheese/crackers.
Hi Cathy! I’m confused because I see it on my end. The full recipe with the measurements was right above the area where you commented. There is also a “jump to recipe” button at the top of the page to get you there faster. Can you please double check? Thanks!
I love everything pumpkin, but I have to admit I was a bit skeptical of this. I couldn’t be happier that I gave it a shot…and neither could my friends and coworkers! :) I don’t normally eat sweet potatoes but love them in this recipe. I’m thinking some zucchini would be an awesome addition, next time, too.
This was really really good. And pretty easy to throw together on a work night. Loved that it uses a full can of pumpkin and sweet potatoes – both add a level of depth that some other pumpkin chili recipes lack. And just the right amount of heat, and not too many beans! Followed the recipe to a T and definitely making again.
Love love this recipe! I’ve made it twice now and the first time I used beef, the second time I used elk and carrots vs sweet potatoes, bone broth both times. Adjusted the chili powder for my little ones – but It’s a hit every time!
This will be a staple in our seasonal rotation, thank you!!
This is hand’s down the best chili I have ever had. It’s so flavorful and has so much more depth than typical recipes. It will be a staple all year long. I follow the recipe exactly as is. No adjustments needed! Thank you!
This chili was absolutely delicious!! So filling, tasty, and felt like fall in a bowl! I will absolutely be making this again. I have MANY favorite recipes of Erin’s….but I think this might be my number one favorite recipe tried yet!
This is my annual October go to! Friends & Family LOVE it! I cut the cinnamon in half and added kidney beans as well as the pinto beans, otherwise exactly as you wrote it! I serve it with Trader Joe’s Pumpkin tortilla chips & good old corn bread & fresh green citrus salad. FANTASTIC! A perfect fall or winter meal. Thanks for adding to my perfect meals!
This was delicious . I loved all the veggies in it , including the full can of pumpkin . The spice was just right to me.
Another great recipe by wellplated by Erin !
This recipe was incredibly bland, and did not have a hint of pumpkin taste. I am shocked that it is so highly rated. I had to add a ton of my own spices and triple the pumpkin to get any sort of flavor, even then would not make again.
I’m sorry to hear the recipe wasn’t to your taste, Jillian. The amounts, flavorings and timing have worked well for myself (and others) so I wished it would have been a hit for you too! I know it can be so disappointing to try a new recipe and it does not turn out for you.
I love so many of her recipes, and this is now another that I have pinned to my recipe book(s) on Pinterest! I used ground elk and a roast (pie) pumpkin, and didn’t have ground chipotle chili so I used chipotle flakes. It is quick and delicious, and I will most likely make this a few more times throughout the winter. (Pairing it with a pumpkin ale beer bread :-)
My FAVORITE chili recipe. The pumpkin makes this chili so velvety and delicious. This recipe made me a family chili cook off winner two years in a row (only 2 years because I decided it wasn’t fair to keep using the same one 😆)

Sounds delicious. The recipe doesn’t list the measurements of each ingredient. Please update the recipe.

Where’s the pumpkin?
Why call it pumpkin chili if it doesn’t have pumpkin in it?
Hi Gina! It’s actually there! Listed at the 16th ingredient right under the pinto beans. Hope you enjoy it!
Could you use beef instead of Turkey?
Sure! Enjoy!
Holy moly this was so delicious! I used the slow cooker method. The taste is rich and the combination of sweet potatoes and pumpkin was perfect!

So happy to hear, thank you Paula!
My go to chili recipe! Love it! Quick question- do I drain the chili after the turkey is done cooking?
Glad to hear, Rachel! No need to drain it.
