If you're looking for a cozy, nutrient-packed, and totally gluten-free meal that comes together quickly, this Ground Turkey Soup is perfect for you!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 1 medium yellow onion, diced

• 1 large bell pepper, diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ½ teaspoon sea salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with liquid)

• 1 (15.5 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

• 1 medium bay leaf

• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brown the Turkey:
   In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook for 5–8 minutes, stirring and breaking it apart, until no longer pink.

2. Sauté the Veggies:
   Stir in diced onion, bell pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the veggies begin to soften and everything smells amazing.

3. Add the Good Stuff:
   Pour in the fire-roasted tomatoes (including liquid), chickpeas, and chicken broth. Toss in the bay leaf.

4. Simmer:
   Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10–15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

5. Finish & Serve:
   Remove the bay leaf. Ladle soup into bowls and top with fresh parsley if using. Serve hot and enjoy!
