Directions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sauté 5-6 minutes until onion is fragrant and translucent.
Add the garlic and spices and sauté 30 seconds. Add the ground turkey and 1/4 cup water and stir, breaking up the meat into pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
When the turkey is cooked through, add the beans, tomatoes, corn and chicken stock; stir until combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly, and simmer 20-30 more minutes until thickened.
Serve with sliced avocado and sour cream, if you like.
