Equipment

  • Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Sharp Knife
  • Grater
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 2-inch nub ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 zucchini squash chopped
  • 1 bunch broccolini chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the turkey is browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the ground turmeric, stirring well to coat the turkey evenly with the spices.
  • Toss in the chopped carrots, zucchini, and broccolini. Stir everything together for a few minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine.
  • Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and sea salt to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
  • After simmering, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional lime juice or salt.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it hot. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of freshness.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat on the stovetop or microwave, stirring occasionally for even heating.
  • Substitute ground chicken or beef for turkey if preferred.
  • Use soy sauce or tamari instead of fish sauce if unavailable.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeño for a spicier version.
