Let’s whip it up!

How to Make Hearty Ground Turkey Soup with Vegetables:

Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until much of the fat has rendered, about 2 to 3 minutes.  Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Scoot the onions off to the side of the pot and add the ground turkey (or sausage). Brown for 2 minutes, flip, and brown another 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to chop the meat into smaller pieces.

Add the remaining ingredients except the spinach to the pot, cover, and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil and continue cooking 20 to 30 minutes, until potatoes are cooked through. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about another 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve the soup with your favorite gluten-free cornbread, gluten-free sandwich bread or cheese and herb Irish soda bread, and enjoy!

Want to change things up to put it on repeat but keep it fresh? Here are some ideas.

Recipe Adaptations:

• Leave out the potatoes for low-carb (or replace them with cauliflower).
• Skip the onion to make the recipe low-FODMAP.
• Omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of avocado oil if you don’t have bacon on hand.
• Add sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts.
