Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained (or frozen corn)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up.
Add the lean ground turkey to the pot and break it up into small pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine.
Return the browned ground turkey to the pot and stir in the taco seasoning, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to fully incorporate the spices.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro just before serving for a fresh and zesty finish.
Serve the taco soup hot, optionally topped with low-fat sour cream, diced avocado, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese (adjust these toppings based on your dietary preferences).
