Making healthy meals that are also EASY is a super strategy to boost nutrition while keeping mealtime stress at a minimum.

That’s where turkey soup comes in!

A comforting bowl of warm turkey soup is nutritious, delicious and can be easy to make.

3 Nourishing Turkey Soups

Here are 3 soups to put on your menu this fall. One of my top time-saving tips is to make a double batch on the weekend to enjoy during the week and freeze some for another meal, another time.

Turkey tortilla soup

A warm spicy soup that’s easy to make using leftover cooked turkey and some basic pantry staples. This soup will be on my menu on repeat!

Neat to know: Vitamin C in the tomatoes helps your body to absorb the iron and zinc in the turkey and black beans.

African-Inspired Turkey and Peanut Stew

Check out the make-ahead tips that will save you mealtime prep when making this flavourful stew.

Neat to know: A diet rich in veggies and fruits is especially important for a healthy immune system. Aim to make half your plate (or bowl!) filled with produce – like in this stew. 

Mexican Corn and Turkey Meatballs Soup

Make a double batch of the meatballs and serve them in a veggie-filled nourish bowl for lunch another day.

Neat to know: Frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh and a super option when fresh veggies aren’t in season.

Eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including protein-packed turkey, gives you energy and provides your body with nutrients you need to keep your immune system strong and healthy.

Stay happy, healthy and well,
