WW Recipe of the Day: InstantPot Turkey Taco Soup
Have dinner ready tonight in less than 30 minutes with this family-favorite Turkey Taco Soup. It comes together in no time and cooks quickly thanks to the Instant Pot (affiliate link). (For those of you who prefer the Slow Cooker, I've included those instructions too.)
I like to serve this the same way I do tacos—with an assortment of toppings so everyone can add what they like. We particularly like to add shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, salsa and chopped cilantro.

How Can I Make this Soup in the Slow Cooker Instead?
To make this soup in a crock pot, heat the oil in a large skillet (affiliate link) over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for about 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the turkey and continue to cook, breaking up the meat into small crumbles, for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned.

Just made this for lunch. Loved it. Didn’t have anything in low sodium so used regular and was pleasantly surprised.
