Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 5 oz spinach (~ 5 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced into half rings
  • ½ cup carrots, peeled and chopped (2-3)
  • ½ cup celery ribs, chopped (2-3)
  • 6 cups bone broth
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger (1 ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 1-2 scoops collagen peptides (optional)
  • Avocado/cilantro/juice from lime wedge to garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high.
  • Add onion, celery, and carrot and saute for 5 minutes, until the onion turns translucent.
  • Next, add vinegar, ginger and garlic and saute for 1 minute, allowing the vinegar to absorb and for the ginger and garlic to become fragrant.
  • Add the ground turkey, dried herbs and salt. Brown the meat for 5 minutes.
  • Add broth and bring to a boil then add squash and reduce to a steady simmer. Cook for 12 – 15 mins until squash has softened, stirring intermittently.
  • Add in spinach 1-2 cups at a time, stirring to incorporate. 
  • Add collagen and stir. Cook for 5-7 minutes more.
  • Garnish with avocado slices/cilantro/juice from lime wedges, if desired.

Notes

  • If possible, use homemade bone broth for the best taste and the most nourishing option!
  • Cut veggies into thin slices to ensure they cook all the way and don't remain crunchy.
  • Store any leftovers in a container with an airtight lid. Stays good in the fridge for 3-4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
