In a large pot sauté onions, garlic and jalapeño in olive oil over medium high heat until onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cumin, paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Add ground turkey and break up into small pieces with a spoon. Stir occasionally and cook until turkey is no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, green chiles, white beans and chicken broth to the turkey onion mixture. Season with salt & pepper and simmer for about 30 minutes to let the flavors develop. Add hot sauce and additional salt & pepper if needed. Serve hot with shredded cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, lime wedges and corn chips.
