Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15g
- 1.25 lb. ground turkey 93/7
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 onion diced, large
- 1 bell pepper diced, medium
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 Tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
- 1 (15-oz.) Kidney Beans can
- 1 (14.5-oz) diced fire roasted tomatoes canned
- 1 (6-oz.) tomato paste canned
- 2 cups chicken broth 480g
- 3 cups butternut squash cubed
Instructions
- To a dutch oven or large pot, add the olive oil and set to medium heat. When warm, add the ground turkey. Season with salt and pepper (to taste) and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until turkey is just about cooked through, stirring and breaking into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Then add the garlic, onions, and diced peppers. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are tender.
- Next, add the chili powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, kidney beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for another 3 minutes or so.
- Next, add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir until combined.
- Finally, add the broth and butternut squash. Stir to ensure everything is combined; then, reduce heat to a simmer, place lid over the skillet, and let cook for about 30 minutes, or until butternut squash is soft.
Notes
- To cook in crockpot: Just add all the ingredients to your slow cooker (I would cook ground turkey first but you don't have to), cover, and place on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
- To freeze: Add the cooled soup to an airtight container or freezer-safe Ziploc bag and freeze for about 3-4 months. If freezing in a Ziploc bag, I recommend laying the freezer bags flat. Then, move it upright the next day once frozen to save space. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat the next day.
