This turkey soup with zucchini noodles comes together in 20 minutes — it will end up in your weekly rotation.
This turkey soup with zucchini noodles is a variation of my popular Italian Turkey Soup with Beans, Tomatoes and Spinach. And this soup also comes together in 20 minutes! Woo hoo!
Brown up some ground turkey, throw in some spices, a can of tomatoes, some zucchini noodles, and some spinach. Done. Dinner time!
This will become a healthy go-to weeknight meal. It’s Whole30 compliant and low calorie. Your whole family will love it. And no worries — if you don’t have a spiralizer, buy one! Just kidding, you can easily julienne the zucchini with a mandoline or you can also cut it thinly with a knife. Same taste, different look.

We have the same issue with our washing machine. Plenty of times we were mopping up water from the floor. I love the zucchini noodles in this soup. So yummy!
What a great idea! ….zucchini noodles. I still have some zucchinis in my garden. I should give it a try.
Oh goodness, girl. I admire you for looking at the positive aspect of the situation! Talk about strength.
But this soup, love how tasty it sounds, easy it is to throw together and how nutritious it is!
Ahhh..the joys of owning a home. I hope things get settled pretty quickly. We had a house that anytime you did work, there was something done horribly wrong before and would need to refix the mistake before you could do what you originally planned.
Soup is a good comfort food in such situations, and this one looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it!
OK, so 1-this soup looks absolutely delish 2-holy cow, I am so sorry that happened to you, sounds like a complete and utter disaster and annoyance 3-hang in there girl, sending you positive thoughts :)
I’m so sorry about the washer and water damage. That totally stinks! What a way to ruin the day.
But great perspective. Someout out there always has it worse and we need to remind ourselves of all the blessings in our life. I pray your week goes smoothly!
Soup look marvelous!
You are not alone. We’ve accidentally done this half a dozen times. Because who looks in the dang sink before one starts the wash cycle?!?!?!?! And WHY do we have a laundry room flood plan? Sorry!
Mmmm soup sounds perfectly comforting.
an overflowing toilet cost my homeowner’s insurance over $12k in damages.
soup sounds good.
I went to a memorial service for a 41-year-old mom of three boys this weekend. Cervical cancer. I have three boys. puts life into perspective.
Awww I would have NEVER thought of that with the laundry either! But if I had a week like yours, I do have a feeling this soup would make me feel better!!
HANG IN THERE, UGH. If it’s any consolation, I’m uber impressed that your home was even near an acceptable state to host a party. Ours is still a nightmare!
