6 servings
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 ½ lb ground turkey
Chef's tipBrown it just like ground meat, using the same amount. It's leaner than turkey, so add a little oil to the pan to keep it from sticking. - 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 6 cups chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 2 medium zucchini, diced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- salt, to taste
For serving
- lime wedges, for serving (optional)
- sliced avocado, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 6–7 minutes.
- 2
Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
