Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s browned all over and no longer pink. Scoop the turkey out into a bowl and set it aside for now.

Step 2
In the same pot, toss in the chopped onion and cook it for about 5 minutes until it’s starting to turn translucent. Then add the carrots and celery, and keep stirring everything together until the veggies are nice and tender, which should take around 8 minutes.

Step 3
Next, stir in the corn, garlic, taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, and about a quarter cup of chopped cilantro. Add the cooked turkey back in and cook everything for a couple more minutes until it smells amazing.

Step 4
Pour in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, green chile pepper, olives, chicken broth, water, and a splash of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the whole pot to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes.

Step 5
Before serving, fish out the chile halves and sprinkle the rest of the cilantro on top for a fresh burst of flavor. Enjoy!
