How to Make Ground Turkey Bacon Potato Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
The theme of this Ground Turkey Crock Pot Bacon Potato Soup is lower cost at the grocery store without sacrificing taste. I have used ground turkey as a replacement for ground beef when cooking before. It works great in some recipes and is not my favorite in others. So, I thought I would try it in this recipe, and it was great! Another way I am cutting costs is by using real bacon bits instead of cooking bacon crisply and crumbling it. I can buy a large bacon of store brand real bacon bits and use it in multiple recipes for less than a pound of bacon.
