Pumpkin Turkey Chili

I was looking for a different way to use up the leftover turkey from Christmas.  I also had some canned pumpkin left over from making the pie for Christmas.  I didn't tel anyone what was in it until they had eaten it.  We all loved it, and they still thought it was  good even after finding out there was pumpkin in it!  I only had a little bit of green pepper, but it worked.  And I used chunks of cooked turkey instead of ground turkey.
