Preparation:
1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Transfer to a bowl if there is a lot of liquid in the pot. Add the olive oil, onion, and bell pepper and cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
2. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne if using. Cook 30 seconds to bloom the spices. Return the meat to the pot if removed.
3. Add the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, pumpkin purée, and broth. Stir well, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook uncovered or partially covered for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring now and then, until thick and cohesive.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Ladle into bowls and top with sour cream or Greek yogurt, cilantro, avocado, and cheddar cheese.
