Slow Cooker Kale Turkey Soup

Slow Cooker Kale Turkey Soup is made with white beans and lean ground turkey. It’s a healthy, gluten free recipe that’s easy to make in a crock pot!
Crock pot soups are my jam! They’re so easy to toss together in the morning and such a delicious dinner to come home to.
Taco Soup is one of my childhood favorites, that I continue to make over and over again! And my husband Kurt requests this French Onion Meatball Soup almost every week. But when it comes to a soup that’s light and flavorful, this Turkey Kale Soup is my go-to!
Lean ground turkey, fresh kale, diced onions and cannellini beans keep this soup light and healthy. While oregano, fennel seeds, garlic, salt and pepper add delicious flavor!
Serving this soup with a warm and crusty baguette for dipping is totally optional, but highly recommended.
How to make Kale Turkey Soup
Add olive oil to a large skillet on the stove. Cook onion, garlic and ground turkey together for 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.
Add cannellini beans, chicken broth, kale, oregano and fennel seeds. Season with salt and pepper.
Slow cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
Feel free to grate a little fresh parmesan cheese on top when serving the soup.

can you skip the part without browning the turkey?
It’s not 100% necessary, but I do highly recommend it, as the taste and texture will be better in the end.
So yummy! I added 3 sweet potatoes to make it a little heartier. Almost skipped the fennel, but I’m glad I didn’t!Â
Love the addition of sweet potatoes! Thanks so much for sharing!
