Squash and Turkey One Pot Chili

February 13, 2017 by Tanya 2 Comments

Looking for a simple and healthy dinner idea that doesn’t take a lot of effort or clean up? Look no further because this Squash and Turkey One Pot Chili is exactly what you’re looking for. Simple, packed with bold flavors, and healthy!

I am the kind of person who will spend an entire afternoon leisurely baking, but when it comes to making dinner, I want it to be quick and easy – but healthy. I am always on the lookout for new slow cooker meal ideas and one pot marvels. A favorite of mine is this Squash and Turkey One Pot Chili, which is especially satisfying in these cold winter months. It’s a quick meal and only requires one pot, but it tastes like I spent all afternoon cooking. Best of all, it’s packed with veggies and lean protein.

Squash and Turkey One Pot Chili Recipe

What I love about chili is that it’s incredibly easy to change or swap out the ingredients. Sometimes I’ll double everything to make a massive batch or I’ll just increase the meat and spices for a heartier meal. I have tried the recipe with a half can of crushed tomatoes and a half jar of leftover pasta sauce for a slightly richer chili. I’ve also mixed different types of beans for a more interesting flavor and I often use peas instead of corn – but corn just looks so much better with the yellow squash! It’s easy to modify this simple recipe to suit your family’s taste buds.

A handful of shredded cheese (or dollop of sour cream and sprinkling of chopped avocado) is the perfect topping for a cozy bowl of squash and turkey chili. Enjoy by candlelight to make this meal even more special than it already is!

  1. Brown the meat in a non-stick pot over medium heat.
  2. Use a spatula to separate the turkey as it's cooking.
  3. Drain any liquid.

Notes

Home Chef Tips: Serve with tortilla chips for a more decadent and satisfying meal idea.

Feel free to substitute or remove vegetables. I originally made this without the pepper and I've also substituted peas for the corn. This recipe works well with substitutions and is pretty much foolproof!

    I have found a pkg of your favorite Taco seasoning is a great replacement for Tomatoes and all those seasonings!

      Definitely true, but those mixes are super high in sodium and sugars where the spices used in this recipe are not.
