    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Chop the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.

    Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Next, introduce the ground turkey into the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until it’s no longer pink, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

    Add the can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and pour in 4 cups of chicken broth. Stir to combine.

    6

    Season with salt, pepper, and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes.

    Finally, stir in chopped parsley right before serving to freshen up the flavors.
