One of my favourite soup recipes Italian Turkey Burger Soup, both healthy and hearty made with lean ground turkey. Easy to make in less than an hour!

Soup made with chunks of ground turkey, carrots simmered in tomato based broth. Served in black bowl and garnished with sliced green onion.

With the colder temperatures starting to set in what could  be more comforting than a warm bowl of soup. This recipe for Italian Turkey Burger Soup makes a terrific lunch but so hearty it can definitely serve as a main course meal.

I am always looking for tasty ways to use healthy, lean, ground turkey breast. The problem with ground turkey is that it can taste dry and flavourless; not so with this recipe!  Moist lean turkey meat with scrumptious flavour.

The combination of fresh oregano, thyme and basil with a tomato base add robust flavour to this exceptionally delicious soup. I usually use fresh herbs from my garden which I transfer indoors for the winter. They add superior flavour over dried, but if need be, dried herbs will still taste awesome in this recipe. Be sure to double up the recipe as this soup is even better the next day. Put in a thermos for school lunches your children will love!

    I cooked this as a one pot soup, browning the ground turkey with all the veggies. I deglazed the pot with a 1/2 cup of white wine and the tomato paste, then added the broth and tomatoes. While simmering I added a bayleaf. To serve I added quinoa that I had cooked separately. I wanted a grain with my burger soup, figured quinoa would be a good addition to a healthy soup. Made a great hearty fall soup.

      I am cooking this in my crockpot right now, I set it at high for 4 hours I’ll let you know how it works out. I used baby carrots, one small can of diced tomatoes, celery, and added two zucchini. I halved all the spices because oregano always ends up overpowering every thing, and used two cups of beef/one cup of veggie broth because that’s what I had. The recipe is awesome and I can’t wait to taste it.

    Delicious!! Just made a few changes – I doubled the broth and garlic, only used a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes (I don’t like a heavy tomato flavor for my soups) and added potatoes to sauté with the carrots and celery. I also seasoned the turkey while cooking with taco seasoning. It made it a bit spicy which I loved and topped with an Italian cheese blend! Loved it!

    I made this tonight in my Instant Pot and it was very tasty! I added a half can of corn and only 2 cups of the broth. I also only had a 14 oz can of fire roasted diced tomatoes. I sautéed everything and then let it cook on high pressure for 15 minutes and it was perfectly done. Next time I’ll add less dried oregano- 1 tsp made it a very prominent flavor. I sprinkled a bit of Parmesan cheese on top to serve. I’ll definitely make this again!

    Would it work to use chicken broth instead of beef broth? 2 people in my family cannot eat beef. I guess it wouldn’t be as flavorful.

    I made this soup in the instant pot… just threw everything in and it turned out sooo good! Only changes I made were to add additional garlic cloves (total 6) and 8 cups of beef broth instead of three… I wanted more broth… will definitely make again… thank you!

    I rarely write reviews but I have made this soup so many times now, I had to say WOW. It is so easy, all in one pot on the stove top – done in 1/2 hr easy. I add cherry tomatoes ,sliced zucchini , a yellow pepper and only 15 oz diced tomatoes with chilies. The seasonings are perfect. Great hardy soup for dinner with a corn muffin. Many thanks for the great recipe.

    This soup is delicious! I made it with what was left in my house as we didn’t have time to grocery shop and it was fantastic. I used 6-8 fresh tomato instead and sauteed them with the vegetables first and used 2 more tablespoons of olive oil because it was dry in my pot on stove. All my boys loved it ! 2 years old and 5 years old and even my husband! Definitely a keeper!

    This recipe is a gem – even the pickiest eaters in my family were happy to have seconds! Plus, I able to hide some extra vegetables for our toddler (threw in what I had on-hand — diced fennel, green pepper, and a package of frozen spinach), added some extra water and orzo at the end to make it a hearty one-pot stew. Served topped with parmesan cheese, and no one had any idea it was so healthy! This is absolutely going into our regular rotation. Thank you!!

    I’ve been making this soup and freezing single serving containers since you posted it! I decided that it would make a great accompaniment to our in law Christmas sandwich feast, but with chicken sausage and halving most of the herbs. Fantastic!
