Receta Turkey - Pumpkin Chili
It seems like pumpkin is turning up in everything this time of year. When I read about the health benefits of pumpkin, the antioxidants and fiber, and see that a cup of pumpkin puree has only 1 Weight Watchers point, it's no wonder. I'll be looking for more ways to work it into my diet.
