Rainy Day Recipe

Turkey Pumpkin Lentil Chili (Serves 4-6)

(Yes, I know we are looking for meals for two on this blog...however, this was terrific, we each had two bowls at dinner since we didn't do bread or sides, and that left a bowl each for lunch today)

1 lb ground turkey meat thawed

2tbs dried onions

1tbs garlic powder

2tbs Cajun seasoning blend

2tbs dried crushed sage

2 cans petite diced tomatoes (one with green chilies)

1 can pumpkin puree

1.5 cups beef broth

1 tomato can of water

1 cup brown or yellow lentils

1/3 bag frozen veggies (optional)

In a large stock pot over medium heat, brown the turkey with the onions and the garlic. Once browned, add the broth, tomatoes, pumpkin, water, lentils, veggies, and other seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 1 hour.
