October, for us, is all about soup, chili, pumpkin and all things squash related. I love fall because of the produce and can’t seem to get enough squash! I recently picked up some delicata and carnival squash and roasted it, along with some butternut squash from earlier in the week.

I had some leftover so this chili had to happen. Plus, it finally feels like fall here! This chili recipe is highly adaptable and so versatile. Use ground beef instead of turkey, or don’t use any meat at all. Frankly, all the beans, squash and veggies will do the job just fine!

Butternut Squash Turkey Chili

Note for the cook: I love loading up this chili with lots of veggies but you can omit the carrots and bell peppers if wanting a simpler chili. The butternut squash should already be cubed and roasted before beginning this chili. You can do this a day ahead and store the cooked butternut squash in the refrigerator.
*Alternatively, you can add some chicken stock instead to thin out the chili

  • Add in the chili powder, cumin, nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Stir together and then add in both cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes*. Add in the black beans and garbanzo beans. Mix together and let cook for a few minutes. Season with more salt and pepper.
