Cooking Instructions
  1. Brown ground turkey with chopped onion in a large pot over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until turkey starts to brown; drain fat and return pot to heat.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and all the spices; cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add broth and bring to a boil; toss in carrots, celery, sweet potato, and cabbage. Cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in diced tomatoes with juice and drained white beans; simmer for 20 minutes or until the carrots and potatoes are nearly tender.
  5. Add zucchini and squash; simmer for 5-10 more minutes until everything is tender.

Notes

For best flavor, brown turkey evenly and do not burn the garlic. Simmer gently after adding broth to avoid mushy vegetables.
