Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion Diced
  • 2 Celery Stalks Thinly sliced
  • 2 Large Carrots
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 1 Pound Lean Ground Turkey
  • 2 Teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 14 Oz. Can Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 4 Oz. Can Green Chilis, Diced
  • 4 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 3 Cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 Medium Lemon Juiced
  • Lemon Wedges to taste

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring now and then, until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Add ground turkey and use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks until it browns slightly, around 4 or 5 minutes.Stir in Italian seasoning, cannellini beans, green chilies, and chicken broth. Raise the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to medium-low. Cover and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and add the spinach and chard. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until the greens are wilted.
  • Add the lemon juice, then taste the soup and adjust the salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot with extra lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Substitute ground Turkey with any type of ground meat, or leftover turkey, chicken, pork or beef.
Swap Italian Seasoning with basil and oregano or tyme and rosemary.
