Ingredients

  • 8 cups turkey broth

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot, sautee the onion and celery in about 2 tbsp of cooking oil or butter. Cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the diced carrot, chopped kale, and turkey broth to the onion and celery mixture. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Add the diced turkey and zucchini to the pot. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Simmer an additional 5 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Card Tips

  • Simmer the soup uncovered, it helps the flavors condense instead of staying diluted.
  • Add the turkey and zucchini last, so they heat through without overcooking.
  • Save the turkey carcass for homemade stock rather than throwing it out, it makes a real difference in flavor.
