Instructions

In a large pot over high heat, add olive oil. When the oil is 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 breaking up the turkey while it cooks. This takes about 7 mins.
When the ground turkey is no longer pink, add chicken broth, 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.
Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Wash/peel all veggies before dicing. If you want, you can leave the peel on your potatoes but wash them well.
Make sure to dice vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces so you get a little bit of everything with every bite.
I recommend cutting potatoes into similar sized chunks so they cook evenly!
Dice veggies ahead of time and refrigerate for later use or buy pre-cut, chopped frozen veggies.
Avoid over-salting. I recommend only sprinkling in a little bit of added salt in the beginning and adjusting later if needed.
