Ground Turkey Soup with Vegetables
Description
Ground Turkey Soup with Vegetables features chopped thick-cut bacon cooked until rendered slightly, followed by softened onion and browned ground turkey. Chunks of Yukon gold potatoes, carrots, and zucchini are added along with chicken broth and full-fat coconut milk to create a rich cooking liquid. The soup simmers gently until the potatoes are soft, then baby spinach is stirred in until wilted to add color and nutrients. The bacon and turkey add a savory depth, while the coconut milk brings a subtle creaminess that balances the vegetables. The ingredients come together into a chunky, comforting soup with tender vegetables and a mild, hearty flavor profile ideal for cooler days.
The recipe yields a complete one-pot meal with protein from turkey and bacon, fiber and vitamins from assorted vegetables, and a creamy finish thanks to coconut milk. It can be served on its own for a light but filling lunch or dinner.
Notes mention that ground turkey Italian sausage or ground chicken or beef can be substituted for turkey, allowing some flexibility based on availability or preference.
Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon chopped, thick-cut
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 1 lb ground turkey *
- 3 small potato chopped, Yukon gold variety
- 2 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 1 medium zucchini chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk full-fat

- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until much of the fat has rendered, about 2 to 3 minutes.

- Scoot the onions off to the side of the pot and add the ground turkey (or sausage). Brown for 2 minutes, flip, and brown another 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to chop the meat into smaller pieces.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the spinach to the pot, cover, and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil and continue cooking 20 to 30 minutes, until potatoes are cooked through. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about another 2 to 3 minutes.
