Turkey and Pumpkin Chili

I've been waiting to try this all season and it was definitely worth it!! So good!! :)  It is a new twist to chili since it doesn't contain any tomatoes.  Also, I was afraid that the pumpkin would overpower the whole soup but it didn't at all.
Ingredients:
1.25 lb Ground Turkey
1 Yellow Pepper
1 Orange Pepper
1 Onion
3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons Chili Powder
2 teaspoons Cumin
1/2 teaspoons Oregano
2 Bay Leaves
2 15oz cans Northern Beans
1 15oz can Pumpkin
2.5 cans Chicken Broth
1 4oz can Green Chilies
First you need to brown the turkey in a sauce pan while you cut up the peppers, onion and garlic.  Once the turkey is finished you should add the chopped up vegetables can spices (not the bay leaves) to the meat and saute it for a couple minutes.
Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and add the rest of the ingredients.  Stir it all together and it is ready to go!!
I set this on low for eight hours and then it stayed on warm for two and a half more hours.
We dished it up and added some oyster crackers and cheese to it.  It was a big hit! One friend said she gave it 10 stars!
