Recipe Using Turkey Broth and Ground Beef

This ground turkey soup is simple to make, inexpensive, healthy, and comforting. Pasta and beans make this brothy soup extra filling!

I've wanted to make a ground turkey vegetable soup for a while now, and I like the way it turned out. It's got chicken soup vibes, but obviously with turkey. Ground turkey is so easy to prepare, and it's not the first thing most people think to add to soup, so I wanted to give you guys another option if it's something you enjoy and/or regularly buy.

This healthy ground turkey soup is the type of soup that's easy to whip up on a busy weeknight, and it's also good for if anyone in your home is feeling under the weather.

Recipe notes & tips:

• The measurements in this soup are very forgiving. Feel free to throw in a bit extra/less depending on what you've got on hand.
• You could use ground chicken instead of turkey if you prefer.
• You can swap the pasta with a different shape if you like.
• Use kale or Swiss Chard instead of spinach if that's what you've got in your fridge.
• The lemon juice can be omitted or doubled/tripled depending on how much lemon flavor you want in the soup.
• If you're freezing the bulk of this recipe (or making it a day or two ahead), I suggest adding the pasta in after you've thawed it/when you're reheating it. The leftovers really soak up the broth.

• ▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ▢ 2 sticks celery chopped finely
• ▢ 1/2 medium onion chopped
• ▢ 2 cloves garlic minced
• ▢ 1 dash Italian seasoning
• ▢ 1 pound ground turkey
• ▢ 1 (14 fluid ounce) can white beans (cannellini) drained
• ▢ 2 medium carrots sliced
• ▢ 4 cups chicken broth
• ▢ 1 cup water
• ▢ 1.5 cups uncooked fusilli pasta
• ▢ 1 tablespoon lemon juice or more, to taste
• ▢ 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
• ▢ Salt & pepper to taste

• Add the oil, celery, and onion to a soup pot over medium-high heat, and sauté for 4-5 minutes (ok if the onion starts to brown a little).

• Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for 30 seconds.

• Add in the ground turkey and cook until it's mostly turned white, breaking it up with your spoon as it cooks (about 4-5 minutes). I prep the other ingredients while I go along, but feel free to prep everything before you begin if that's easier.

• Add in the beans, carrots, broth, and water. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar and reduce the heat & simmer for 10 minutes.

• Add in the pasta, cover the pot again (lid slightly ajar), and cook for another 10 minutes. I stir it a couple of times just to ensure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom.

• Add in the lemon juice (add more if you like it really lemony) and spinach. Cook it for a couple more minutes until the spinach wilts. Season with salt & pepper as needed. This soup soaks up the broth pretty fast, so feel free to add more chicken broth/water as needed (especially when reheating leftovers).

• Serves 4-6 depending on how much people eat.
• You can use 5 cups chicken broth (vs. 4 cups broth and 1 cup water) if you want. I just do this because the 32 oz/4 cup cartons of broth are handy, and that way you don't need to open a second one if you don't want to.
