Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, chicken broth, and corn (if using). Stir to combine.
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with desired toppings like sour cream, cheese, or green onions.

For a thicker chili, simmer uncovered.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
