Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots and celery to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the diced zucchini, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and return the cooked ground turkey to the pot.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Ground Turkey Vegetable Soup!
