Pumpkin Turkey Chili

Recipe courtesy of Serious Eats.I made a few alterations based on what I had at home.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 (14.5 ounce) jar salsa  
1 (14.5 ounce) can red kidney beans 
1 cups (1/2 of a 14.5 ounce can) pumpkin puree
3/4 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 tablespoon cumin 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper to taste (at least 3 good shakes)
 
Directions: 
Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Saute the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until tender, about 10 minutes. Make room in the center of the skillet, add turkey, and brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in salsa, beans, and pumpkin. Season with chili powder, cumin, pepper, salt, and cayenne.

Reduce heat and simmer at least 20 minutes.
