Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1½ cup potatoes, in bite-size pieces (we used red potatoes, but any should work)

  • 1 cup fresh green beans, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅔ cup celery, sliced
  • ½ cup carrots, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced

  • ½ cup green peppers, finely dice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1½ teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 1/1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
  1. In a pan, sauté garlic and ⅔ cup onion until onion is translucent.
  2. Add ground turkey and garlic powder to pan. Stir frequently.
  3. In a pot combine broth, green beans, celery, carrots, peppers, bay leaf, seasonings, and ⅓ cup of onions to pot over medium heat.
  4. When turkey is browned, add contents of pan to pot, salt and pepper to taste, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover.
  5. Let simmer for at least one hour, or until potatoes are tender.

This is a super easy recipe that is savory and healthy.  First combine onion, garlic, and ground turkey in a pan.
