This is an easy chili recipe that's sure to please. I've made this slow cooker pumpkin turkey chili for a Halloween party and a chili cook-off at work with great results! It's a great base with many options to spice it up, depending on the crowd you're cooking for! I usually put everything together in the morning and let it simmer all day; you can adjust cooking time to fit your needs.
