Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 pound Lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 2 Celery stalks, diced
• 1 large Russet potato, diced
• 6 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 4 cups Kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey, breaking it up into small pieces. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove the cooked turkey from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

To the same pot, add minced garlic, diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, or until vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the diced potato and pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Add the cooked turkey back to the pot along with the chopped kale, almond milk, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Let the soup simmer for another 7–10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the kale to wilt.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy a heart-healthy bowl of Toscana soup!
