Using a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and all spices and cook 3-4 minutes until softened. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink. Stir in the beer and both types of beans. Add crushed and diced tomatoes, turn heat to low and simmer for at least an hour. Use the shredded cheese and scallions for garnish.
