In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the ground turkey. Cook and crumble the turkey until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir the vegetables and turkey together, then add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and black beans to the pot. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings such as chopped cilantro, a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of shredded low-fat cheese, if desired.
