Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the jalapeño and garlic and cook until slightly softened, 1 minute.

Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Add the turkey and stir until coated with the spices on all sides. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and scrape up any spices that have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Bring the chili to a simmer over low heat and cook, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced by a few inches and the chili has thickened, about 1 hour.

Drain half the canned beans, reserving the other half. Add the beans and the reserved liquid to the pan and cook until heated through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in deep bowls with potatoes or rice, topped with a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkling of chopped green onions.
