  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store‑bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for extra heat)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (15‑ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15‑ounce) can kidney or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15‑ounce) can corn, drained (or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn)
  • 1 (14.5‑ounce) can diced tomatoes (plain or with green chiles)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce or salsa
  • 3 cups low‑sodium chicken broth
  • For serving: lime wedges, shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, diced avocado, cilantro, green onion, tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes, then stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle in taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  4. Add the black beans, kidney or pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce or salsa, and broth. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and the soup slightly thickens. Adjust seasoning with more salt or spices as needed.
  6. Serve hot with lime wedges, cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, green onions, and tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Use homemade taco seasoning for better flavor control.
  • Add more broth if the soup is too thick.
