Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, sliced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) Diced tomatoes, no salt added
• 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
• 1 cup Green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Once the turkey is browned, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Sauté the vegetables until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the low-sodium chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the diced Yukon gold potatoes and green beans to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Once the potatoes and green beans are cooked, stir in the baby spinach, dried thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper. Let the spinach wilt into the soup for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with more pepper or herbs, but avoid adding salt to keep it heart-healthy.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy the hearty and healthy goodness!
