Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about four to five minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add them and the oil they were cooked in to a slow cooker.
Add the turkey stock, turkey, tomatoes, beans, salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf to the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker on LOW and simmer for 4 hours.
