Turkey Vegetable Soup with Bulgur

Prep 15M | Cook 30M | Enjoy in 45M

Use up your leftover holiday turkey with this turkey vegetable soup with bulgur. Bulgur is a quick-cooking ancient grain that’s produced by cleaning, steaming, drying and crushing whole-wheat kernels. With a nutty flavour and chewy texture, bulgur wheat is the perfect base for this cozy turkey soup recipe. This recipe is part of our December meal plan.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp canola oil

1 cup diced onion

1 cup diced carrots

1 cup diced celery

2 cloves minced garlic

1 tbsp minced fresh ginger

1 tbsp ground turmeric

6 cups low sodium chicken broth

1 tbsp dried thyme

1 tbsp dried rosemary

½ tsp salt

½ tsp freshly ground pepper

1 cup bulgur wheat

2 cups cooked turkey, shredded

½ cup frozen peas

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add carrots, celery, garlic, ginger and turmeric. Cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add broth, thyme, rosemary and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the carrots and celery are almost tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add bulgur and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Add turkey and peas and cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Serve and enjoy!
