For your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients and equipment needed for this recipe have been listed below and linked to Amazon if available online.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Fresh Produce – Red Onion, Celery, Mushrooms, Parsley

Just mix equal measures of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, parsley, and thyme. You can also add a pinch of garlic granules or powder as well as red chili flakes if you like.

This recipe uses American cups. They’re a handy piece of kitchen equipment, along with a kitchen food scale. Having both in your kitchen means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog as I use both cups and weighted measures. I always try to give both American and Metric measurements in my recipes.

Ground Turkey Mushroom Soup
This Turkey Mushroom Soup is a creamy and delicious 30-minute recipe that is full of turkey, mushrooms, cauliflower, and cheese!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup red onion, diced small
- 1 large stalk celery, diced small
- 1 cup white mushrooms, chopped
- 1 lb ground turkey (85% lean)
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 6 cups chicken broth, preferably organic
- ½ cup heavy cream (double cream), tempered*
- 1 (12-oz) bag frozen riced cauliflower
- 2 cups Italian blend cheese, shredded, divided
- 3 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and sauté, stirring frequently, until the veggies are soft, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, ground turkey, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently until the turkey is no longer pink and the mushrooms start to release their juices, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and add chicken stock. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Add a spoonful of the hot liquid to the heavy cream to temper it before adding it to the skillet, as well. Stir to combine and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add frozen cauliflower rice and 1½ cups of the shredded cheese to skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until cauliflower is heated through and cheese is completely melted. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
- Remove from heat and transfer to individual soup bowls. To serve, top each bowl with remaining cheese and fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
*To prevent curdling, add a small amount of hot liquid from skillet to heavy cream before adding it to the soup.
