Crockpot Pumpkin and White Bean Turkey Chili

Veronica's Healthy Living
I got this recipe from the internet, Foodie Crush, and changed it around to make it healthier.  This is a great recipe to use with leftover turkey and pumpkin.  Please note that other winter squash can be used in place of pumpkin.  This dish was a hit in my house…so much so that I made another batch, so I could can the extras for my go-to meal stash!
