1 medium ripe avocado, mashed
2 medium bell peppers, diced
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp taco seasoning
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking into small pieces (5-7 minutes).
2. Dice onion and bell peppers. Add onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
3. Add diced bell peppers and taco seasoning. Stir 1 minute to toast the spices.
4. Pour in diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to simmer and add black beans. Cook 15-20 minutes to meld flavors.
5. Remove pot from heat. Stir in Greek yogurt and mashed avocado until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
Avoid boiling after adding Greek yogurt and avocado to preserve probiotics and healthy fats.
Roast bell peppers beforehand for deeper flavor.
Use homemade taco seasoning to control sodium levels.
