Easy but time consuming to make, great for cold days!
At least 7 hours before dinner time (or the night before), rinse and sort beans. Cover in cold water to soak. After soaking, cook beans by package directions then drain.
At least 3 hours before dinner, slice pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds and place cut side down on a pan. Roast at 350 until tender, depending how thick it is that's usually about 40-60 minutes. Toss the zucchini and onion on a baking sheet and roast them at the same time for about half as long, to get that wonderful sweet roast flavor.
At least 2 hours before dinner, scoop pumpkin out of skin and mash. Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Add a little extra water if needed. Cover and simmer over low at least 2 hours or until turkey is done.
Excellent with whole wheat or pumpkin biscuits. Makes great leftovers!
