Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons dill (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic.
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and season with salt, black pepper, and dried dill (if using). Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Return the cooked ground turkey to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the turkey through.
Stir in the milk and fresh dill, and let the soup warm through for 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil to prevent curdling.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
