Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the ground turkey and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add in the olive oil, celery, carrot, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper; cook for another 5 minutes, or until softened. Add in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and cook for another minute.
Transfer mixture into a 5-qt (or larger) slow cooker. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato puree, kidney beans, pinto beans, vegetable broth, and frozen corn, mixing well to combine. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Stir in the lime juice right before serving! Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, and cheese, if desired. Serve warm, with extra lime wedges.
