Add in ground beef (or turkey) to the saucepan and cook just until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add all the above vegetables and spices (except garnish ingredients) to the crockpot, give the pot a good stir.
Spoon into individual bowls. Garnish with crumbled bacon and avocado slices, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Adjust jalepeño, cayenne and chili powder to suit your own personal taste. As written, the recipe is moderately spicy.
