In a large pot or dutch oven, add olive oil, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Add in turkey and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add in chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon and stir to combine.
Add in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add in peeled tomatoes, squashing them with your spoon. Then add broth, chipotle peppers, and white beans.
Stir occasionally and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with desired toppings.

Chili will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
