Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 4 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the dried thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper, coating the turkey mixture evenly with the seasonings.
Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), and drained white beans. Stir to combine.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the chopped baby spinach to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Taste the stew and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preferences.
Ladle the stew into bowls and top with grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Turkey White Bean Spinach Stew!
