AIP Friendly Rosemary-Garlic Turkey Vegetable Soup
Hearty, nourishing, and deeply fragrant, this soup is the kind of pot you want simmering on the stove when your body needs a reset. Tender cubes of turkey breast, sweet potato, zucchini, carrots, and celery come together in a rich bone broth base that feels genuinely restorative — not like a compromise. The autoimmune protocol can make classic comfort food tricky, since so many soups rely on nightshade-heavy spice blends, legumes, or grains for body and flavor, but this one builds its depth the old-fashioned way: fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic, and a splash of apple cider vinegar that brightens every spoonful. Ground turmeric and ginger add warmth without crossing into off-limits territory. Searing the turkey first locks in flavor before it ever hits the broth, so you get that satisfying, savory backbone throughout. The whole pot comes together in under an hour and serves six, making it a smart option for meal prep or feeding a crowd on a healing-focused week. Finish with a handful of fresh parsley and you've got a bowl that looks as good as it tastes.

Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season the turkey cubes with 1/4 tsp of the salt, then add them to the pot in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir and cook for 2 more minutes, until the pieces are opaque on all sides and register 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the turkey to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
