Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (or shredded cooked turkey)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 4 cups chicken or turkey broth

  • 1 can cannellini or kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or fresh thyme, oregano, parsley)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, Parmesan rind

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add zucchini, diced tomatoes, broth, beans, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in spinach or kale and cook for another 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Ladle into bowls and top with grated Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add beans in the last 10 minutes to avoid mushiness.
  • Add a Parmesan rind while simmering for deeper flavor.
  • Double the batch and freeze portions for easy future meals.
  • Serve over pasta, rice, or quinoa for a heartier dish.
