Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
After 30 minutes, stir in the lime juice and remove the pot from the heat.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your hearty turkey chili with a side of cornbread or over rice if desired.
