Ingredients
- Non-stick cooking spray or olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- 1 medium white or yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced (1/4 inch)
- 2 celery ribs, diced (1/4 inch)
- 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
- 3 tablespoons (50g) tomato paste
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 6 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 small zucchini, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or add a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Add garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften, about 5–8 minutes.
3. Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Break it into crumbles as it cooks.
4. Once the turkey is no longer pink, add tomato paste. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until it begins to stick to the pan.
5. Add chicken broth, cabbage, basil, and oregano. Stir and bring to a simmer.
6. Simmer for 10 minutes, then add zucchini. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until all vegetables are softened.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat.
Chop vegetables up to 2 days in advance for quicker prep — store onions, carrots, and celery together, and keep cabbage and zucchini stored separately.
For extra depth, try adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.
