This deeply nourishing soup is the kind of bowl that makes you feel better just looking at it. Ground turkey, sweet potato, and a generous heap of green cabbage come together in a rich bone broth base, seasoned with turmeric, ginger, thyme, and oregano for a warming, aromatic depth that tastes like it simmered all day. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens everything up and ties the flavors together beautifully. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about unexpected additions sneaking in from packaged shortcuts. The sweet potato melts into the broth just enough to give it body, while the cabbage turns silky and tender after a gentle simmer. It's hearty enough to be a complete meal on its own, and a handful of fresh parsley on top adds a little color and freshness if you want to dress it up. Whether you're cooking for comfort or just trying to get more vegetables into your week, this one delivers on every level.

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.
