Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the pot, add the ground turkey in the center, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
Add the canned diced tomatoes with their juices, kidney beans, black beans, corn, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir again. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Serve the turkey chili hot, garnished with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro if desired.
