This is the kind of soup that makes you feel genuinely taken care of from the inside out. Ground turkey, sweet potato, carrots, and a generous heap of green cabbage all simmer together in bone broth until everything is tender and deeply savory. Coconut oil stands in for butter without missing a beat, and the broth-based foundation means there's no cream, no cheese, and nothing dairy-derived hiding anywhere in the pot. A bold spice blend of turmeric, ginger, thyme, and oregano gives the broth serious warmth and color, while a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens the whole bowl. It's naturally rich and satisfying without relying on any dairy to get there — just wholesome ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Finish with a handful of fresh parsley if you have it, and you've got a bowl that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

6 servings

1 tbsp coconut oil
1 lb ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
½ medium head green cabbage, cored and roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
6 cups bone broth
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains and the meat is cooked through to 165°F (74°C), about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to a plate and set aside.
2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
