Description

A hearty turkey rice soup made with ground turkey, vegetables, and seasonings, perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey
  • 1 T + 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup finely diced onion
  • 1 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 cups finely chopped cabbage
  • 1 T minced garlic
  • 2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (see notes)
  • 2 tsp. Poultry Seasoning
  • 8 cups chicken broth (see notes)
  • 2 T Turkey Soup Base (see notes)
  • 2 cups frozen cauliflower rice (see notes)
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in the Instant Pot on SAUTE, HIGH.
  2. Add the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is nicely browned, breaking turkey apart and scraping the bottom a few times with a plastic turner. This will take about 10 minutes.
  3. Season the cooked turkey with a little salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
  4. While turkey cooks chop the onion, chop the celery, and slice and coarsely chop the cabbage.
  5. Remove turkey to a bowl, and heat a few teaspoons more olive oil in the Instant Pot.
  6. Add onion, celery, cabbage, garlic, Spike Seasoning or other all-purpose seasoning blend, and Poultry Seasoning and cook five minutes, stirring a few times.
  7. Add the cooked turkey back into the pot and stir to combine with vegetables.
  8. Add the chicken broth, plus 2 T Turkey Soup Base. (Or if you’re lucky enough to have some Homemade Turkey Stock, by all means use that!)
  9. Set Instant Pot to MANUAL, HIGH, 10 minutes cooking time.
  10. While soup cooks, take the cauliflower rice out of the freezer and break it apart, or if you have a big package measure out 2 cups frozen cauliflower rice.
  11. When time is up use NATURAL RELEASE for ten minutes; then release the rest of the pressure.
  12. Add cauliflower rice to the pot. (You can use 1 1/2 cup cooked wild rice or 1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain rice if you don’t want to use cauliflower rice.)
  13. If you’re making the soup with leftover turkey, add that now.
  14. Set Instant Pot to SAUTE, MEDIUM, and cook the soup about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower rice seems done.
  15. Check for seasoning and add a little more salt and fresh ground black pepper if you want it.
  16. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and serve Turkey Rice Soup hot, with coarsely-grated Parmesan cheese to add at the table if desired.
  17. To make this ground turkey soup on the stove, use the directions in the original recipe.

Notes

  • For Spike Seasoning, use any all-purpose seasoning blend if not available.
  • Use homemade stock for a richer flavor if possible.
  • Leftover turkey can be used instead of ground turkey.
