If you enjoy barley in soup, you'll love this soup with ground turkey, barley, mushrooms, and spinach! |
I'm on a quest to prove that ground turkey doesn't have to be boring, and this comforting and flavorful soup was the latest recipe where I experimented with lean ground turkey as an ingredient. The soup also has lots of brown Crimini mushrooms and chopped spinach, two ingredients I really like with barley. The final ingredient that helps the ground turkey to shine is mushroom stock, which I made using Better than Bouillon Mushroom Base. (Another brand I love is Telma Mushroom Cubes, but lately I can't find those in my stores.) If you don't want to buy mushroom base, you can still make this using all vegetable stock, but bumping up the mushroom flavor makes a big difference. Jake and I both loved this definitely-not-boring ground turkey soup, and I shared the leftovers with my friend Robin, who also gave it two thumbs up.
