Turkey and Navy Bean Soup image

A great way to use up leftover turkey. From Quick and Healthy Low-Fat Cooking: Mediterranean Cuisine.

Provided by AmandaInOz

Categories     Turkey Breasts

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons smoked turkey breast, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups chicken stock, defatted
2 cups turkey breast, cooked and diced
2 cups canned navy beans, drained and rinsed
1 pinch ground red pepper
salt, to taste
1/4 cup fresh basil, minced
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat, saute the onions and smoked turkey in the oil for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute.
  • Add the stock, diced turkey, beans and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Cover. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add salt to taste. Stir in the basil.
  • Ladle into individual bowls, and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, beans, and smoked turkey.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will help to enhance the flavor of your soup. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, and pepper.
  • Let the soup simmer for a while: Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.

Conclusion:

Tuscan smoked turkey and bean soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
