Dilled Potato Soup With Ground Turkey

Ground turkey can be used just like ground beef. I substitute it in many recipes because it drastically reduces the fat content. Many are scared they will not like it as well as ground beef, but many times it is cheaper to buy and provides just as much flavor in your recipes. This is a hearty soup and a meal in itself. To me, that is the only way to eat soup!
