Easy Weeknight Ground Turkey Soup

“Wait, what? It’s September already?” 🍂

Do you ever find that the same things will happen every year, but you have like the same reaction every year?

• omg it’s only 8pm. I can’t believe how dark it’s getting now
• Man, when did it get so cool in the morning?
• Halloween decorations are out on August 17th? What the what?!

And other deep life thoughts like these.

Something else that comes with fall? The natural want for warm-you-up-from-the-inside-meals like this recipe for Easy Weeknight Ground Turkey Soup. Yum😋 City🏙️

Fall also brings back to school time and this year is no different.

Well, hmm lemme just check something here (scanning 57 different protocol update emails), yes. Wait a second. It is different.

Like a whole lot different.

Staggered start, masks, ++hand-washing and other safety protocols 😷

I don’t know what the fall is going to bring – some predict disaster while others say no biggie.

No matter what, though: the Supper Show must go on. And having easy, weeknight meals is what we all need at a time like this.

This Easy Ground Turkey Soup with have you feeling basically like a super hero 🦸‍♀

Because when you’re working, home-schooling, making meals (and let’s not forget lunches), anything that tastes amazing and is healthy for your family, is a welcome change.

Here’s what you’ll need for this Easy Ground Turkey Soup:

• 1 shallot or small sweet onion, diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 1 pack of ground turkey, about 0.5kg or 1lb – BUT this recipe is forgiving. No need to measure/weight your meat. And unless it’s a MASSIVE package of ground meat, use it. No fun wrapping up a tiny bit of meat.
• 1-796 ml can seasoned, stewed tomatoes, large pieces 
• 1-156ml can tomato paste
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 heaping tsp dried oregano
• 2 heaping tsp dried basil
• 1-900ml reduced salt chicken broth
• Salt and pepper

Whatever this fall brings (and 2021 and beyond), I hope you’re taking good care of you and yours♥️
