What kind of ground turkey should I use for my soup? 

I like to use lean ground turkey in my recipes because it’s the healthier option. You can use any kind you like.

Ground turkey breast will be the leanest and lowest in WW points if that applies to your needs. Sometimes I stock up when I found ground turkey on sale at places like the local grocery store, Target, and Aldi. Use what you have / what you like.

How many Weight Watchers points are in this soup?

This recipe makes 8 hearty servings of 5 weight watchers points each.

Which WW Program are these points for?

WW has definitely changed from 2020 to now. They went from three to one plan to multiple plans and back to one plan again. So in 2023, we have just plain old “POINTS.”

What vegetables can I include in my ground turkey soup? 

You can use whatever vegetable blend you like for your soup. I like to use the frozen mixed vegetables which usually includes things like carrots, peas, corn, green beans, etc.

If you have specific needs in terms of which veggies you need to avoid you can always use individual types of frozen vegetables and just mix them all up based on what you can eat and enjoy.

Making ground turkey soup with frozen vegetable is really easy and it’s a great way to get the most convenient solution with the most nutritional value.

How long does vegetable ground turkey soup last? 

Like most recipes it will be at its prime for the first few days after you make it. Keep it stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container to extend the life of your ground turkey soup.

I would suggest that you use or freeze the soup within about a week. It’s not smart to let any cooked foods hang around in your fridge much longer than that before bacteria / food borne illnesses start to become a concern.

Ingredients needed to make ground turkey soup with frozen vegetables:

This recipe uses:

• 1 lb. 93% Lean Ground Turkey, browned
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large stalks celery, chopped
• 2 medium or 1 bag of small Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1-6 ounce can of tomato paste
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables (corn, green beans and carrots)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to make an easy veggie soup with ground turkey:

In a large stock pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the celery and the onions for 3 to 4 minutes. 

Add the onion and continue to simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the chicken broth and the tomato paste, stir until well combined. 

Add the spices and the potatoes, stir until well blended. 

Bring to a boil then turn down heat and simmer for 30 minutes. 

Add in the ground turkey.

Add the frozen vegetables and simmer for 5 additional minutes. Serve hot.

Can I freeze ground turkey vegetable soup? 

Certainly. You can freeze this soup in bags once it is cooled so that they lay flat in the freezer or you can use freezer safe containers to save it for future use.

This soup is great for freezing because the veggies and meat are hearty and they’ll hold up well to being frozen and thawed out for use later. There’s no pasta or dairy ingredients that you need to worry about getting weird during the freezing / thawing process.

Tips for making the best ground turkey soup with vegetables:

Keep in mind that you can mix things up and use whatever vegetables you like. This is ground turkey vegetable soup without tomatoes. We use tomato paste but there’s no chunks of tomatoes. If you typically include them in your veggie soup feel free to add some!

If you only have ground chicken or ground beef on hand you can certainly substitute that in for the ground turkey if you want to, the recipe will work just fine with other ground meat.

This recipe is very flexible so you can add seasonings, veggies, even cooked noodles if you wanted and it will be great. It’s one of those recipes that you can adapt pretty easily to make your own based on what you and your family like.
