This big-pot soup is the kind of meal that makes you feel genuinely taken care of — deeply savory, warmly spiced, and loaded with vegetables that actually fill you up. Ground turkey and bone broth form a rich, protein-packed base, while sweet potato and carrots add natural sweetness and body to every spoonful. Turmeric, ginger, thyme, and oregano layer in serious flavor without leaning on any sauces or condiments that might sneak in hidden sesame. That's a real win, because tahini, sesame oil, and sesame-laced spice blends have a way of showing up where you least expect them — this recipe keeps everything clean and straightforward from the first ingredient to the last. A splash of apple cider vinegar stirred in at the end brightens the whole pot and ties the flavors together beautifully. Fresh parsley on top adds a little color and a pop of freshness if you have it on hand. It's the kind of soup you'll want to make on a Sunday and eat all week long.

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.
