Instructions

1. Preheat a large soup pot over medium heat, fry half the bacon until golden and crispy, then remove the bits and leave the fat in the pot.
2. Fry the turkey in batches, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper, until well browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Set aside.
3. In the same pot over medium heat, add a few tablespoons of butter, the onion and corn, and sauté for 7–9 minutes until the onion is translucent.
4. Add the garlic, peppers and all the spices (salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, chipotle, paprika, oregano and basil) and cook for 1 minute.
5. Add the crushed tomatoes, drained beans and broth, then return the turkey and bacon bits. Add ½ cup maple syrup and mix well.
6. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and cook for 1 to 1½ hours, stirring every 20 minutes. Alternatively, cook in a slow cooker on high for 6 hours.
7. Meanwhile, fry the remaining bacon in a medium pan over medium heat until golden and almost crisp, add a few tablespoons of maple syrup and cook 1–2 minutes until it sticks. Tilt the pan to drain the grease and scoop the bits into a bowl.
8. Stir in chopped cilantro and green onions at the end, and add lemon juice to taste.
9. Top each bowl with the maple bacon bits.
