There’s nothing worse than a fridge full of leftovers and no idea what to do with them. After a few consecutive days of cooking, it’s easy to feel uninspired and unmotivated to make another homemade dinner. Yet no matter how strong your urge is to order take-out, the healthy thing to do is typically to keep making home cooked meals.
And we figured out exactly what to do with your leftovers this week.
Introducing the 3-ingredient turkey vegetable soup. High in protein, vitamins, fiber and minerals, and low in fat and carbs, this soup can be made with the leftover ingredients you already have sitting in your fridge.
And if you didn’t happen to have turkey on the menu this week, you can swap out the turkey in this recipe for chicken, fish or any other protein you have leftover.
What’s In 3-Ingredient Turkey Vegetable Soup
As its name implies, there are just three main ingredients in this turkey vegetable soup: cooked turkey, a can of mixed vegetables and chicken broth. That’s literally all you need.
And the directions are very straightforward, leaving plenty of room for substitution. If you have cooked vegetables sitting in your fridge, you can use those instead of the canned version. Prefer a vegetarian option? Swap out the turkey for tofu and the chicken broth for a veggie alternative. The directions remain the same.
This 3-Ingredient Turkey Vegetable Soup Is Full Of Vitamins & Nutrients
Even with just three ingredients, this recipe is so healthy for you. Turkey itself is loaded with protein, vitamins B3, B6 and B12, selenium and zinc.
And chicken broth has its own benefits, namely protein, selenium and iron. Then when you add vegetables into the mix, your intake of vitamins and minerals skyrockets.
How To Make 3-Ingredient Turkey Vegetable Soup
All you have to do to make this soup is add all of the ingredients into a pot and bring it to a boil. It is really that simple! You can make a healthy weeknight dinner in just ten minutes.
