Heat the oil in a tilt skillet or large pot, over high heat.

Add the onions, green chili peppers and diced tomatoes. Cook, stirring frequently until onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the garlic, cumin, and chili powder and stir well for 2-3 minutes, then add the ground turkey. Continue cooking on high heat, stirring frequently, until the meat shapes into bite size pieces, about 10-15 minutes depending on your batch size. Scrape the skillet frequently to prevent sticking.
