Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until soft around the edges. Take them out of the pan and place them in the crock pot.
With the same pan, place an additional tablespoon of olive oil and cook ground turkey until it is browned. Use a spatula to break up the ground turkey into smaller pieces as it cooks—place in the crock pot.
Add the remaining soup ingredients and spices to your slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. It's fine if the soup cooks a little longer or the slow cooker switches to the "warm" setting.
Serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

Veggie Options: Corn, carrots, broccoli, or even spinach in the last few minutes of cooking are great vegetable options.
Fridge Storage: Place cooled soup in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
Freezer Storage: It lasts in the freezer for up to 3 months. To use, thaw, and then bring to a simmer on the stove or microwave. Add toppings after it's thawed and heated.
- You can also add all ingredients to a freezer-safe bag and freeze them until ready to use. Then, thaw and cook in your crockpot per the regular instructions.
