Instructions
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium- high heat. Add turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, and starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove turkey from the pot with a slotted spoon, set aside
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pot. Add onion, garlic bell pepper and zucchini and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are starting to soften and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, cinnamon and chipotle (or cayenne) and cook, stirring often until fragrant, 30 to 90 seconds.
Add water and quinoa and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the quinoa has just burst open a little bit, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the reserved turkey, tomatoes, olives and raisins and return to a simmer, stirring often.
Simmer just to allow the flavors to meld, 4 to 5 minutes.
Ladle into bowls and top with garnishes if desired.
