Heat a large, nonstick pot over medium-high heat and stirn in the ground turkey, onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook and stir until the turkey is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, salsa, barbeque sauce, green chilies, corn and black beans. Season with lime juice, cumin, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and cilantro. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the flavors develope, 1 - 3 hours. Serve with a dollop of low fat sour cream and shredded cheese if desired (not calculated in calorie count).

This can also be prepared in the crockpot and left to simmer on low while you are busy working all day.
