Coconut Turmeric Curry Soup with Turkey
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Turkey meat is not only low in fat and rich in protein, but also provides iron.
If you like, you can prepare the soup with fresh turmeric root. Peel a 1-2 cm small piece, cut it finely and cook it together with the pumpkin. The root promotes bile flow and fat digestion and helps the liver to detoxify our body.
