- 3 medium carrots, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 2 medium zucchini, diced
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 32 oz low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any extra fat and set aside.
In the base of a 6-quart crock pot, combine the diced onion, carrots, celery, zucchini, and shredded cabbage.
Add the cooked turkey to the crock pot, followed by the canned diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and minced garlic.
Sprinkle the dried basil, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients.
Stir everything together to combine, ensuring the vegetables and turkey are distributed evenly throughout the liquid.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Just before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed with more salt or pepper.
If desired, stir in baby spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking to wilt it slightly.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy a comforting and healthy bowl of turkey vegetable soup!
