Add olive oil to Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add turkey and cook until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles as it cooks. Sprinkle on taco seasoning mix and stir to coat turkey thoroughly; cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and stir; then add diced tomatoes, beans, green chiles, and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir. Add more chicken broth, if needed, to reach desired consistency (thick or brothy--your choice). Heat through and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.
