Description
One of my favourite soup recipes, Italian Turkey Burger Soup is both healthy and hearty—made with lean ground turkey, fresh herbs, and vegetables for a cozy, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey breast
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups celery, sliced
- 1 can diced tomatoes (28 oz), not drained
- 3 cups beef broth
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp fresh basil or 1 tsp dry
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano or 1 tsp dry
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dry
- 1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in large skillet.
2. Add ground turkey, salt, pepper, onion and garlic to skillet and sauté until turkey is browned.
3. Transfer to Dutch oven or pot.
4. In same skillet add carrots and celery and sauté just until slightly tender (not too soft).
5. Transfer to Dutch oven.
6. Add tomatoes to skillet to deglaze (love the extra flavour that comes from the browned bits in skillet).
7. Add beef broth, tomato paste and all the herbs (except parsley) to skillet and bring to a boil.
8. Transfer to Dutch oven, stir to combine all ingredients.
9. Simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes.
10. Add parsley during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
Notes
For a lighter option, use ground turkey breast instead of regular ground turkey.
Deglazing the skillet with tomatoes adds extra depth and flavor to the soup.
This soup freezes well and makes a great meal prep option.
Serve with crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
