- In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and chicken sausage. Cook until the the meat begins to brown and caramelize, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Add the onion, bell pepper and carrots. Cook until veggies are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the dried spices and cook until very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the pumpkin ale, scraping up brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow to cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the canned pumpkin and chicken stock. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients. Bring to boil, reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 20 minutes. If chili gets too thick, add a little bit more chicken stock.
- Taste and add salt or red pepper flakes (for more heat) if needed.
- Dish out chili and top with shredded cheese, nonfat greek yogurt or sour cream, and scallions.
If you want cornbread croutons:
Unravel a swirl from the can of Pillsbury Cornbread Swirls* so you have one long strip. Cube them into crouton shapes.
Place on a sheet tray and bake for 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Here is a Reel of how I make them if you want a visual!
*This seems to be a seasonal item that comes out for fall and winter.
