Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb lean ground turkey see note 1
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 6 cups stock vegetable or chicken
- 18 oz can diced tomatoes including juices
- 2 bell peppers diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ cup long grain white rice basmati recommended; see note 2
Instructions
- Sautée - In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add meat - Add the lean ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir to coat.
- Combine + Simmer - Add all remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer (covered), for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and vegetables are soft.
- Serve - Taste and adjust seasoning, and enjoy!
Notes
- you can swap the ground turkey for lean ground beef or beyond beef
- swap for quinoa, barley or long grain brown rice; adjust cook time as needed.
- Fridge - cool completely, then cover the pot, or portion out into air-tight storage jars. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Freezer - cool completely, then portion out into glass or plastic freezer jars. Leave ¼ of the jar empty to account for expansion, and leave lids ajar until the soup is fully frozen. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Thaw - overnight in the fridge (speed the process by leaving on the counter for a few hours, or by immersing the jar in water).
- Reheat - Heat individual servings in the microwave until steaming hot. Heat larger portions in a pot over medium heat on the stove for 15-20 minutes, until warmed through.
