This Ground Turkey White Bean Kale Soup is incredibly delicious, comforting, and filling and it’s perfect for the busy weeknights, ready in less than 30 minutes.
If you’ve followed my blog long enough, you know I’m a soup lover! Here on the blog, you will find soups of all kinds; vegetarian, vegan, carrot and sweet potato soups and so on. I never get tired of soups. They are so easy to make and always save my life when I don’t have any idea what to make for dinner. Why? Because I just dump every veggie I have in my fridge into a large pot, add a can of beans and a carton of chicken broth. After 20-25 minutes, dinner is ready.
I can’t think of a better dish for this time of the year. This is definitely very filling with the carrots, turnip, and meat in there. Also, this ground turkey white bean kale soup is very hearty and comforting. I’m sure you are going to love the combination of the white beans and kale (this green is always great to add extra nutrients). So good!
Since this soup takes really good on day 2, you can also make it ahead of time. Isn’t it great to have something like this in the fridge for when life gets super busy? One pot is totally manageable and makes clean up super easy too. If you have been craving soups like crazy lately, this is calling your name.
I really cannot get enough of soup. I can have it every day and sometimes I do! I like to make a bunch of soup then freeze it to mix and match throughout the month. Some of my favourites right now are my Spinach Sweet Potato Soup, Sweet Potato Chicken Soup Recipe, Ground Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe, and Zucchini Noodle Soup Recipe. They’re so easy and delicious. Can’t get enough of soup? Here are 30 more Healthy Soup Recipes to try!

My family enjoyed this this evening! It was easy and budget-friendly too!
Olivia says
Yep! This is one of my favourite recipes! It’s very easy to make and so tasty 😉
Kristal says
Do you cook it to a boil and then simmer 10-15 or boil corn 10-15?
malia says
This was a delicious soup. Hearty, healthy, and perfect for fall.
Olivia says
Yep! It’s perfect for fall 😉
Fiona says
I made this for dinner last night as a spur of the moment kind of thing and it was AMAZING! I am not a very good cook by any means. I butchered meatloaf if anyone can believe that. I had to ask someone at the grocery store what turnips are and almost bought turnips leaves as I didn’t know the difference between turnips and turnip leaves… I’m very new at this.
This is the first recipe that I have put together that I LOVED! One thought though, is it possible to have the nutritional value of the recipes available? If it already is and I am missing it then someone point me in the right direction 🙂
Olivia says
You’re so fun… hahahahaha! I love your comment. So happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe. I just added the nutritional value on the recipe box for you. Thanks for stopping by 😉
Chris says

Olivia says

Laura Crosby says
Second time making this and it’s such an easy meal for a cold night. I don’t change anything except add tons of kale. Good to freeze leftovers and super yummy! Thank you!
Olivia says
Happy you enjoy this recipe. It’s perfect for this time of the year 😉
Kira says
Do you think it’d be good to substitute sausage for the turkey? Just want some additional opinions, but this is one of my favorite recipes!
Olivia says
Yes, you totally can 😉
Brenda says
Is it possible to make this in a crockpot?
Olivia says
I believe so. Just add the kale 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Lauren Osoba says
I’ve been making this soup for years and it’s fantastic. Imo there isn’t any reason to sub out the kale for a different taste – I love the kale! But I recently made this with turnips from my garden – since the plant also produced turnip greens I subbed those for the kale. If anyone else has the turnip greens left over it’s a nice way to simplify how many ingredients are needed.
Olivia says
I’ve never used turnip greens in my cooking. That’s awesome. I will try it next time.
