Place turkey bacon in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.

Heat oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sweet peppers; cook until they just start to turn brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and let simmer, adding water if it becomes too dry, 1 to 4 hours.
