Spicy Turkey Kale And Mushroom Soup Recipes

TURKEY, KALE AND BROWN RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, carrots and bell pepper and saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown and soften slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ground turkey and stir until the meat turns white and begins to color very slightly around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the herbes de Provence and stir, 1 minute. Add 4 cups broth, tomatoes and rice. Bring to a boil. Stir in the kale and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and the freshly ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle each serving with parsley and Parmesan, if using, and serve.

SPICY TURKEY, KALE, AND MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Crumble the ground turkey into a medium bowl. Add the paprika, red pepper flakes, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, coriander and cloves; mix well. Stir in the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of water; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
• Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of water, onions, and garlic. Sauté until the onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the turkey mixture and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the turkey is browned, about 8 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the kale. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and continue to cook until the kale is tender (about 10 minutes), and serve.

LEMONY WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH TURKEY AND GREENS

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium-high for a minute or so to warm it up. Add the oil and heat until it thins out, about 30 seconds. Add onion and carrot, and sauté until very soft and brown at the edges, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse the greens and pull the leaves off the stems. Tear or chop into bite-size pieces and set aside.
• When the onion is golden, add tomato paste, 3/4 teaspoon cumin and 1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes to the pot, and sauté until paste darkens, about 1 minute. Add turkey, garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon salt, and sauté, breaking up the meat with your spoon, until turkey is browned in spots, 4 to 7 minutes.
• Add stock and beans, and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until the soup is thick and flavorful, adding more salt if needed, 15 to 25 minutes. If you like a thicker broth, you can smash some of the beans with the back of the spoon to release their starch. Or leave the beans whole for a brothier soup.
• Add the greens to the pot and simmer until they are very soft. This will take 5 to 10 minutes for most greens, but tough collard greens might take 15 minutes. (Add a little water if the broth gets too reduced.)
• Stir herbs and lemon juice into the pot, taste and add more salt, cumin and lemon until the broth is lively and bright-tasting. Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil and more red-pepper flakes, if desired.
