Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add ground turkey to the pot and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
- Pour in diced tomatoes with their juices and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Add chopped spinach or kale and cook for another 5 minutes until greens wilt. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk before serving.
- Use fresh herbs instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Customize with additional vegetables like zucchini or roasted red peppers.
