Put on gloves to handle jalapeños.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the pan and let it form a crust before breaking it up.

Break the turkey into smaller pieces and continue cooking.

Dice the jalapeño and onion while the turkey cooks.

Remove the turkey from heat once cooked through and set aside.

In a large pot, combine the cooked turkey, spices (1 tablespoon oregano, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper), and minced garlic.

Add 2 cans of drained white beans, 1 can of drained chickpeas, 1 can of diced green chilies, and 4 cups of chicken broth to the pot.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

Stir everything together and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Set a timer for 30 minutes and let it cook, stirring occasionally.

After 30 minutes, check the consistency; if desired, cook for an additional 10 minutes to thicken.

Serve in bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
