• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 4 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the can of diced tomatoes and stir to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 6

Return the cooked turkey to the pot, then stir in the chickpeas and chicken or turkey broth.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, partially covered.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 10

Serve the stewp hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
