Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the zucchini noodles, canned diced tomatoes, and beef broth.
Season the soup with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy touch.
