Ground Turkey Kale Soup
April 1, 2019
I’ve never been big on soup and I’ve always thought of it being a huge production to make. But once I started cooking up this delicious soup and realized how easy it is it became a regular dinner in the rotation. The white beans and turkey make it filling, flavorful, and great the next day. And if you follow my food posts you’ve probably noticed that I love kale in all forms. This recipe originally came from one of my clients and I’ve modified it to make it my own. It’s perfect for a weeknight when you want something hearty and clean that doesn’t require tons of time. Also, preparing the soup doesn’t make a major mess in the kitchen and all you need is one big pot!
What you need:
-
2 tbs olive oil
-
1 lb ground turkey breast
-
1 cup onion — chopped
-
1 cup shredded carrots — chopped

1 cup turnip — diced

2 garlic cloves— minced

1 can white cannellini beans — rinsed
-
2 cups kale — chopped and stems removed

2 bay leaves
-
5 cups low sodium vegetable broth

2 cups water

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

To make:
-

Once pot is hot add turkey, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Use spoon to break apart turkey.
