• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Saute onions and bell peppers in the oil until onions become translucent (medium-heat).
2. Add ground turkey/beef, garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Mix and cook meat thoroughly. you can turn the heat up a little higher to do this.
3. When meat is cooked thoroughly, add chicken broth, Oregano, bay leaf, pumpkin puree, vinegar, and black and kidney beans. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover with lid, and let simmer for about 20 minutes covered.
4. Remove lid, stir, and let simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes (stirring about every 5 minutes or so), or until desired consistency.
