  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

  • 6 cups chicken or turkey broth

  2. Add the ground turkey and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently and breaking it into smaller chunks until browned.

Notes

This soup is gluten-free and can be easily adapted by using different types of rice or adding extra vegetables. Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
