Turkey and Pumpkin Chili

With lots of leftover roast turkey, I went looking for a turkey chili recipe and discovered this one at AllRecipes.Com:

It was a good starting point for an after Thanksgiving meal using leftover turkey. Obviously you could use ground turkey in place of the leftover roast turkey

Ingredients

• 1 roasted turkey thigh, de-boned and chunked. This should produce about 1-1/2 cups of dark meet.
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped finely
• 1 15 oz can tomatoes
• 1 15 oz can dark red beans
• 1 15 oz can pureed pumpkin
• 1/2 to 1  cup chick broth
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• salt to taste
• 2 oz grated cheese (cheddar or jack)
• 3 chopped scallions
• Sour cream

Putting it all together

1. Add olive oil to a pot and heat over medium heat
