Follow The Directions

01

Step

Brown the Turkey: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly (5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease and set aside.

02

Step

Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced carrots, onion, celery, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent (about 10 minutes).

03

Step

Simmer the Soup: Pour in chicken broth and milk. Stir in parsley, thyme, and pepper. Add the browned ground turkey back to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

04

Step

Add Rice and Heat Through: Stir in cooked wild rice and continue to simmer until heated through (about 5 minutes).

05

Step

Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.

For a richer flavor, consider using bone broth instead of chicken broth.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach.
If you prefer a thicker soup, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the soup during the last few minutes of simmering.
This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop.
