I don’t know about y’all, but this time of year, I’m always looking for healthy weeknight meals to throw in amongst the weekend holiday parties filled with cheese plates, cookies and cocktails.

Since this is also the busiest time of the year, I’m also looking for meals that are quick and easy. This Ground Turkey Taco Soup happens to fit the bill for both a healthy meal, that’s also simple to make in no time!

This soup is filled with pulses. I know what you’re thinking, “wait a minute Whitney, what are pulses?” Pulses are the delicious, protein-packed, sustainable foods known as dry peas, chickpeas, lentils and beans. I’m sure your pantry is filled with pulses, you just didn’t know that’s what they were called!

For this recipe, I incorporated black beans, pinto beans and kidney beans into the turkey taco soup. Each bowl of this taco soup contains over a 1⁄2 cup serving of pulses, which adds a ton of nutrients to this already healthy recipe!
