Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces, sliced button mushrooms
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 cups, chopped kale
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked turkey and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté until they release their moisture and are tender, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (including their juices), paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Return the browned ground turkey to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the chopped kale to the soup and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the kale is wilted and tender.
Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley, then taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
Serve the soup hot in bowls. Enjoy with crusty bread or on its own for a wholesome, spicy meal!
