In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until fully browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, and transfer the turkey to the crockpot.

Stir in the diced carrots, diced celery, and baby spinach.

Step 4

Pour the chicken broth into the crockpot, followed by soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch and add it to the crockpot.

Step 6

Cover the crockpot with a lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the rice is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt as needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Crockpot Asian Turkey and Rice Soup!
