Ground Turkey-and-butternut Squash Chili
About 4 pts per cup
"Very tasty chilli - the variety of colour makes for great plate presentation. I might swap out the chilli powder for nutmeg next time - I think that would better accent the squash. (Though I guess it wouldn't be chilli any more.)" - kitchenstadiumYield: 8 Servings Ready in 45 minutes
