Healthy Turkey Tortilla Soup

Healthy Turkey Tortilla Soup is a spicy, flavorful recipe that is perfect for an easy dinner tonight.  Use up that leftover turkey to make the perfect easy comforting bowl of soup.

 After the rush and hard work of Thanksgiving dinner, all most of us want the next couple days is to use up the leftovers in an easy, quick and delicious way.    If the dish you prepare is healthy, all the better, so I give you Healthy Turkey Tortilla Soup.

This recipe is a healthy twist on the classic Chicken Tortilla Soup.

This soup is loaded with healthy fibers, proteins, and calcium.

Turkey keeps it lean and adding the broccoli gives you a great source of beta- carotene.  Black beans are practically fat-free; rinsing them lowers the sodium level while adding a great source of fiber and protein.

Do not add any salt to this dish; using low sodium organic chicken broth helps to keep sodium levels low while still adding tons of flavors.

I wrote the recipe is for 8 large bowls of soup.  You can cut in half easily or any extra can be frozen to pull out later.

My kitchen over looks my backyard and the window over my kitchen sink allows me to watch the sun rise.  The cold weather has hit with the vengeance here in Cincinnati, however, we were blessed with clear skies for a few days before the holiday winter storm hit.   I was so thankful when I looked out to see such a beautiful sunrise that I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures to share with you guys.

Enjoy.  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
