Turkey Chili

Turkey Chili was pinched from <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/7985-turkey-chili" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cooking.nytimes.com.</a>

"You might not think of chili as an easy weeknight dish, but this turkey version from Pierre Franey will change your mind. It's fabulous, it's healthy and it can be ready in about a half hour. A combination of dark and white meat really adds depth and richness of flavor, so try to find a mix, but all white meat (or a mixture of ground beef and turkey) will yield a stellar batch too.(The New York Times Company has partnered with Chef’d to make available a meal kit version of this recipe, here.)

PREPARATION
Heat the oil over high heat in a large heavy pot and add the turkey meat. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, chopping down and stirring with the side of a heavy kitchen spoon to break up any lumps.
Add the onions, garlic, sweet pepper, celery, jalapeno pepper, oregano, bay leaves, chili powder and cumin. Stir to blend well. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
Add the drained beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes longer. Serve in bowls with cheddar cheese, and sour cream and lime wedges, if desired.

Is this recipe referring to cooked turkey, as in thanksgiving leftovers? Or ground turkey?

I saute the onions, then garlic, then celery and pepper before adding the turkey, and use a bottle of beer instead of the stock.
