Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 lemon, juiced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften slightly.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the chicken broth to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper, and bring the soup to a boil.

Step 8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped baby spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until wilted.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and freshly squeezed lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.

Step 11

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your Turkey Spinach Soup with crusty bread or a fresh side salad, if desired.
