Recipe Ingredients

- CHICKEN BROTH: Chicken broth is the base of the soup and pairs well with the turkey and veggie flavors.
- SPICES: Garlic powder, oregano, and thyme are added to season and flavor the soup.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sautee: Add the olive oil to a pan on medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook it until it’s no longer pink.
- Simmer: Add the cooked turkey and remaining ingredients to a crock pot and set the slow cooker to low. Cover the crock pot and let it cook for 8-10 hours before serving.
Storage and Leftovers
Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Expert Tips
- Cut the veggies small. Dice the vegetables into small pieces to ensure they cook properly and are soft by the time the soup is ready.
- Keep the potato skin on. You can keep the potato skin on for extra nutrients and to save time if you prefer.
- Add the spinach last. The spinach doesn’t need hours to cook down so it can be added just before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
When the turkey is no longer pink, the ground turkey is fully cooked. It takes about 5-10 minutes.
The soup cooks for 8-10 hours in the crock pot, which gives the soup enough time for the flavors to emulsify and the veggies to soften.
Serving Suggestions
This turkey soup tastes delicious topped with crushed saltine crackers or a side of fresh sliced bread slathered in butter! It also pairs great with a leafy green side salad.
