When Gooseberry Patch asked me to review their new cookbook, Hometown Christmas I was excited to check out the delicious recipes inside, especially the baked goods! But after reading through every page I was pleasantly surprised to find numerous recipes I wanted to try that were not just desserts but also Crockpot dishes, soups and stews, and party appetizers.
So I decided this tasty Tuscan Turkey Soup would be the first recipe I would share with you today. It features ground turkey, beans, orzo pasta, and hearty veggies. Perfect for this time of year!
Serve with toasted bread for dipping.
