Healthy Recipes You Will Love: Turkey Pumpkin Stew

This comforting winter soup is filled with creamy pumpkin and savory turkey, while keeping it low-carb and high protein. Doesn’t get better than this! Although this recipe is coming a little after the holidays, that doesn’t mean that turkey is a holiday-only meat! If you want another alternative to using the ground turkey, then you can use shredded turkey instead. Simply chop the shredded, roasted turkey and add in the last 10 minutes of the cooking time. Enjoy!
