Turkey and Beef Minestrone

When you are craving veggies and meat, look no further than this turkey and beef minestrone.  The combination of the turkey and beef with the veggies make this soup to die for.  Seriously…it’s so good.

Turkey and Beef Minestrone

I wanted this to be a one pot meal.  And when I was testing this recipe out, I made it into a one pot meal.  But let me tell you that this CAN’T be a one pot meal.  You have to drain the meat.  As much as I wanted this to be a one pot meal, the fat that was leftover from my first attempt was terrible.  So, just trust me that you need to cook the meat separate.

Turkey and Beef Minestrone

To make this turkey and beef minestrone:

Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat and cook the beef and turkey until cooked through.  You can season the meat with salt and pepper if you would like (we did this and it added so much flavor).  Drain any fat and set aside.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil sprays to medium heat.  Once hot, add the onion, garlic, carrots and celery and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.  Add the remaining ingredients, including the meats, and cook until well combined, about 5 minutes.  Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the squash and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.

    Thank you. It probably could go in the slow cooker. I’m not sure when you would add everything, or just dump it all and cook, but I’m sure it could work. I would be worried about the grease from the cooked meat, though. Maybe it wouldn’t be a problem in the slow cooker though.
