Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to the crock pot.

Add the diced bell peppers, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), kidney beans, black beans, tomato sauce, and chicken broth to the crock pot.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) over the ingredients in the pot.

Step 6

Stir all the ingredients together until evenly mixed.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally if you are able to check on it during cooking.

Step 8

Taste the chili before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more salt, pepper, or spices to taste).

Step 9

Serve the turkey chili warm, garnished with chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, and sour cream if desired.
