INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 6-8 baby potatoes, quartered (baby red potatoes work great)
- 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

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
- Pinch of red pepper flakes

INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients and spices, mixing well.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, or Italian seasoning as desired.
