My favorite chili recipe made with ground turkey and butternut squash.
Chop butternut squash into cubes. Toss with 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.
While the squash is roasting, chop and saute the onion and ground turkey in 1 tablespoon olive oil until browned. Chop the meat up into small pieces while it cooks.
Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beans, and bay leaves. Stir and add 1 Tablespoon medium chili powder.
Add 1 {12 ounce} bottle of your favorite beer. {I like to use an IPA or lager}. Turn the heat up and bring the chili to a boil.
Stir and turn the heat down to simmer / low. Simmer the chili for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir at least twice every hour. Add more chili powder to taste, if needed!
