Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 1 large red or yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tbsp dry oregano
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 10 cups chicken or turkey bone broth
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 4 celery ribs, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cans (14 oz each) cannelini or butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1 large zucchini, diced
  • A handful of chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat.
  2. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in onion, garlic, oregano, coriander, ginger powder, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Add carrots, celery, sweet potato, beans, tomatoes, and broth. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  6. Optional: Lightly mash some of the beans with a potato masher to thicken the soup.
  7. Add diced zucchini and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, garnish with parsley or cilantro, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add leafy greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrients.
  • Use chickpeas or navy beans instead of cannelini for variety.
  • Butternut squash can replace sweet potato for a sweeter flavor.
  • A squeeze of lemon before serving brightens the flavor.
  • Soup thickens as it rests—add broth when reheating if needed.
