Because It's Always Turkey Season...

When an HG fan who is obsessed with the Creamy Herbed Turkey Soup at Sweet Tomatoes (a.k.a. Souplantation) emailed us pleading for a Hungry Girl swap, we were happy to oblige! BTW, using cauliflower as a way to up the creaminess factor in soups is pure GENIUS!

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

4 cups roughly chopped cauliflower

10 oz. raw boneless skinless turkey (or chicken) breast cutlet

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

2 cups fat-free milk

2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread

3/4 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup chopped carrots

3/4 cup chopped celery

1 tsp. poultry seasoning

3/4 tsp. dried parsley

1 1/2 cups turkey (or chicken) broth

1 cup turkey stuffing mix (about 1/3rd of a 6-oz. box)

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook cauliflower until very tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook turkey. If needed, pound turkey to an even thickness. Season with 1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper. Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat.

Cook turkey for about 4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

Transfer cauliflower to a strainer to drain.

Place drained cauliflower in a blender or food processor. Add milk, and puree until mostly smooth and uniform.

Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp. butter in the (empty) pot. Add veggies, and sprinkle with 1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper. Cook and stir until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

Add cauliflower puree, chopped turkey, poultry seasoning, and parsley to the pot. Add 1 cup broth, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper.

Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until veggies are tender.

Meanwhile, in a medium-large microwave-safe bowl, combine stuffing mix, remaining 1/2 cup broth, and remaining 2 tsp. butter. Mix well. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed. Using a fork, gently mix until light and fluffy.

Evenly top each serving of soup with stuffing, about 1/4 cup each.
