• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium poblano pepper, diced
• 1 cup canned corn, drained
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove the cooked turkey from the pot and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, diced green bell pepper, and diced poblano pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.

Step 5

Return the cooked turkey to the pot and mix to combine with the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the canned corn, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Season the mixture with ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or spice to preference.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
