Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 medium Carrots, sliced
- 2 medium Celery stalks, sliced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) Diced tomatoes, no salt added
- 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
- 1 cup Green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for about 5-7 minutes.
Once the turkey is browned, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Sauté the vegetables until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the low-sodium chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced Yukon gold potatoes and green beans to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Once the potatoes and green beans are cooked, stir in the baby spinach, dried thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper. Let the spinach wilt into the soup for about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with more pepper or herbs, but avoid adding salt to keep it heart-healthy.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy the hearty and healthy goodness!
