Turkey Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
  • 8 Servings
  • 10 mins Prep Time
  • 35 mins Total Time

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. 93% Lean / 7% Fat Ground Turkey (or any lean point you prefer!)
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½ inch cubes
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup yellow mustard
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (divided)
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2 hamburger buns with sesame seeds
  • For topping: shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and extra shredded cheddar cheese
  • Step 1

    Begin by setting your instant pot to sauté. Heat the olive oil for 1 minute.
  • Step 2

    Add in the carrots, onion, celery and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Step 3

    Stir in the ground turkey and cook until there is no more pink (turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F).
  • Step 4

    Add in the salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Step 5

    Pour in the chicken broth and diced potatoes. Cover the instant pot with the lid and set the valve to “seal.”
  • Step 6

    On high pressure, cook the soup for 10 minutes. While this cooks, prepare the hamburger bun croutons by dicing the sesame buns into ¼ inch cubes and place on a sheet tray. Broil these for 1-2 minutes until nicely browned, then set aside.
  • Step 7

    Once the time is up, carefully turn the valve to quick release the pressure. Once it is done releasing steam, remove the lid.
  • Step 8

    Taking a potato masher, carefully mash the mixture to break up about half of the potatoes. Stir in the mustard, milk, and half of the cheddar cheese.
  • Step 9

    To serve, ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar, diced tomato, diced pickle, shredded lettuce and the sesame bun croutons.
