Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell
pepper and jalapeño and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
Add the turkey, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, chipotle powder, and
paprika and sauté until turkey is crumbly and cooked through, 5 to 7

and adjust seasoning.
Serve the turkey mixture alongside a buffet of desired accompaniments
for eaters to pick and choose, or combine the turkey mixture with the
