Source: Quick from Scratch - One Dish Meals
Turkey, sweet potatoes, sage—it's Thanksgiving in a bowl! Half of
the sweet potato mixture is pureed, thickening the soup ever so
slightly and coloring it a pretty pale orange.
Active Time: 10 Min
Total Time: 25 Min
Serves: 4
2 Tbsp butter
1 onion, cut into thin slices
1 1/2 tsp dried sage
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 quarts canned low-sodium chicken broth OR homemade stock
2 tsp salt
1/4 lb green beans, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 lb fresh-ground black pepper
1 lb turkey cutlets, cut into approximately 1 1/2 by 1/2-inch strips
In a large pot, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the
onion and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is
translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sweet potatoes, broth, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring
to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are
tender, about 10 minutes.
Transfer half the soup to a food processor or blender and puree.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and add the green beans, the
remaining teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Simmer until the beans
are just tender, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the strips of turkey. Cook until the turkey is just done,
about
1 1/2 minutes.
Turkey Options - -
If you like, buy a three-quarter-pound piece of cooked turkey breast
from the deli to use instead of the turkey cutlets. Cut the turkey
into half-inch cubes and heat it in the soup briefly. Another option
is to use leftover cooked turkey or chicken. About two cups of cubed
leftovers should do it.
