Method
 

  1. In a large soup pot, cook ground turkey over medium heat, breaking it up into medium-sized chunks. When the meat is about halfway cooked, add onion, garlic, and carrot. Continue to cook until meat is cooked through and onions are soft.
  2. Add remaining ingredients to the meat mixture, except the cabbage. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce to a simmer.
  3. Add the cabbage and continue to simmer for 30 minutes until cabbage is wilted. Ladle into bowls, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Tip 1: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
  • Tip 2: Yes, this stew freezes beautifully! Allow it to cool completely, then transfer it to freezer-safe containers. It can last up to three months in the freezer.
  • Tip 3: Serve with warm, crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
  • Tip 4: Feel free to swap out the ground turkey for ground chicken or a plant-based alternative for a different flavor profile.
  • Tip 5: Experiment with other herbs and spices like thyme or paprika to add your personal touch.
