Winter Run Soup

I got this recipe from a monthly running magazine we get, my favorite part of it every month is the nutrition article! A while back I got a great recipe for healthy ice cream (Olivia posted the recipe on her blog) This is a soup recipe that Daddy saw in this month's magazine, and thought it looked good!
So, I just put it in the crock pot for supper tonight...I hope it's good, because I froze enough turkey to make it two more times!
Ingredients-
1 pound uncooked ground turkey breast
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots (I put them in the food processor instead)
48 oz tomato juice (it called for much less, but it was too thick)
1 14 oz frozen French cut green beans
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup chopped fresh tomato
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
Directions-
In a large skillet, cook the turkey, celery, and carrots until turkey is cooked though, drain. Add to a 3 1/2- 4 quart crock pot. Stir in tomato juice, green beans, mushrooms, tomato, dried basil. oregano, garlic powder, sugar, pepper, and bay leaf. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for six hours. Remove and discard bay leaf. Makes four to six servings.

Leah and Sam have been sick for a few days, and we just found out it was the flu! Daddy and Olivia went grocery shopping, and Olivia collected all the groceries while Daddy did a few other errands. The only thing she could find was a three pound package of ground turkey, so I cooked the turkey, carrots, and celery in a HUGE pot, and I'm freezing two thirds of it. Mama thought it might be good to use the meat in spaghetti! Yum!
