5. Pour the bone broth into the pot with the vegetables and stir to combine.
6. Add the cooked turkey and jasmine rice, mixing everything well.

Health benefits

Ava recommends choosing a good-quality bone broth available at your local market. One simple way to identify a high-quality option, she notes, is its texture – it should appear slightly gelatinous when set. Naturally rich in collagen and amino acids, bone broth can help support gut health and aid digestion.

The recipe also includes ground turkey, a lean source of high-quality protein that supports muscle health and keeps you feeling full. Meanwhile, according to Healthline, carrots and zucchini add a boost of fibre, which plays a key role in digestion – helping to relieve constipation, support gut function, and promote a healthy microbiome.
