Italian Turkey and Spinach Soup

Compliments of OV Harvest

Company for the weekend and it’s cold, make this soup!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground turkey breast
• 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 small green peppers, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled, smashed & minced
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (single varietal medium-robust intensity or Tuscan, Oregano, Basil, etc.)
• 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
• 4 cups (32 oz) chicken stock
• 2 handfuls of fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon Jane’s Italian Seasoning (available in store)
• Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the ground turkey in 1 tablespoon of EVOO or flavored olive oil, then add in onion, carrots, green pepper plus a little more EVOO (1/2-1 tablespoon) to sauté until tender. Now add garlic for a minute of sautéing as you do not want it to burn. Season with a little sea salt and cracked pepper.

2. Add tomatoes, stock, and italian seasoning. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes. Add spinach and simmer another 5 minutes. Serve with Rosemary crackers or crusty bread & enjoy!
