Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 1 large Russet potato, diced
- 6 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 cups Kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven.
Add the ground turkey, breaking it up into small pieces. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove the cooked turkey from the pot and set aside.
To the same pot, add minced garlic, diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, or until vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced potato and pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Add the cooked turkey back to the pot along with the chopped kale, almond milk, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Let the soup simmer for another 7–10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the kale to wilt.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy a heart-healthy bowl of Toscana soup!
