Directions

Step 1

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

Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
