One-Pot Low-FODMAP Turkey Pumpkin Chili; Gluten-free

This is a simple, warmly spiced, low-FODMAP Turkey Pumpkin Chili, full of deep and rich flavor. A lighter type of chili, since it uses turkey rather than beef, this recipe contains sweet potato and no beans, for a different spin.  You can always add some beans on top, like we do in Cincinnati!

Serve this turkey pumpkin chili with crusty bread rolls, a side salad or in a sourdough bread bowl, if you tolerate gluten.  It’s just simple goodness.

• Serve hot with low-FODMAP, GF crusty bread, garnished with cheddar cheese and scallion tips, if desired
