Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 3 stalks celery (diced)
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 6-8 baby potatoes (quartered (I used baby red potatoes))
  • 4 carrots (peeled and sliced into rounds)
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans
  • 3 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can white beans
  • 1 (32-ounce) carton chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Parmesan cheese and parsley for topping (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the onion and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the ground turkey to the onion and celery and brown the turkey until no pink remains.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rest of the ingredients and spices until combined.

  4. 4

    Turn the heat up to high and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Taste and add more salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, or Italian seasoning as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve hot with fresh chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
