In a large pot over high heat, add olive oil. When the pot and the oil are hot, turn the heat down to medium. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add ground turkey, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Using a wood spoon break up the turkey while it cooks. This takes about 7 mins. When the ground turkey is no longer pink, add tomato paste and stir well.
Pour chicken broth. Add crushed tomatoes and potatoes. Bring it to a boil. Then, bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins or until all the vegetables are tender.
Add green peas and stir well. Cook for 1 more minutes.
Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary. Serve topped with fresh parsley.

You can do some of the prep work ahead of time. I like to wash and chop the vegetables up to 2 to 3 days in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. It makes getting dinner on the table on a busy weeknight so much faster.
You can leave the peel on the potatoes, just give them a good scrub to remove any dirt.
Squeeze a little fresh lime juice over your bowl just before serving. I've found it adds a bright, unexpected pop of flavor that really lifts the whole soup.
To store: Store leftover ground turkey soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To reheat: Reheat the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot.
To freeze: Freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Make sure you leave space when freezing as liquid expands as it freezes.
