October is Pumpkin time! Everyone always thinks of pumpkin bread or pie when cooking with pumpkin, but pumpkin is after all a squash! A recipe I came across years ago and have altered over time is a great turkey pumpkin chili. It is a perfect meal on a chilly fall night, throw all of the ingredients in a slower cooker and by the time it's ready your house will be filled with the smells of fall.
