In a large stock pot on medium high heat, add extra virgin olive oil, onions and garlic. Sauté  for 3-4 minutes or until onions are translucent.


Add the ground turkey meat. Using a spatula, break up the turkey meat. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until meat is cooked through, stirring occasionally.


Add the cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.  Sauté for 1 minute allowing the seasonings to become fragrant. 


Pour in green chiles, drained white beans, pumpkin puree and chicken stock.  Stir to combine all the ingredients.
