- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Once the turkey is browned, pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the diced cucumber.
- Let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the cucumber is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Using a blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overfilling the blender.
