Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 Celery stalks, diced
- 2 Zucchini, diced
- 1 Russet potato, diced
- 15 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the cooked turkey from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the carrots, celery, zucchini, and potato to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly soften the vegetables.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice and return the cooked ground turkey to the pot.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring all the ingredients are covered in liquid.
Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
