    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they become soft.

    Next, add the turkey, cut into bite-sized pieces, and cook until browned on all sides, which should take about 7-10 minutes.

    Pour in the 4 cups of chicken broth and add the chickpeas, bay leaf, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
