Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper softens.
- Next, add the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the chicken broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the black beans and corn. Allow the soup to simmer for 15-20 minutes, letting all the flavors meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. If you prefer a spicier soup, feel free to add some hot sauce or additional chili powder.
- Once ready, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
