Ground Turkey Soup with Beans

This ground turkey soup with beans is one of my favorite soups. We used to make this on snow days when I was a kid. I serve with saltines or Goldfish® crackers. It also makes a great leftover meal–always a plus!

Step: 1

Crumble turkey into a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Step: 2

Stir carrots, onion, and celery into the turkey; cook and stir until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, tomato sauce, tomatoes, undrained peas, green beans, kidney beans, and corn. Season with pepper and seasoned salt. Stir until evenly distributed. Add thyme and bay leaf.

Step: 3

Pour water into the pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring regularly and adding more water as needed, until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
