1.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the squash, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Push to the sides and add the onion in the middle with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and spices and stir together until fragrant, 30 seconds more.

Quickly stir in the chipotle peppers and peanut butter and stir to combine. Add the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the chocolate and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
