Steps
1
Season turkey with salt and pepper. In a heavy-duty large pot, heat 1 tbsp oil on medium-high. Cook 2–3 min. per side, until slightly golden. Remove from pot and let cool.
2
Dice celery, onion, and carrots. Remove seeds from bell pepper and dice. In the pot, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil on medium-high. Add vegetables and cook 5–7 min., until vegetables begin to soften, stirring often. Add garlic and thyme and cook 1 min., stirring constantly.
3
Into pot, add chicken broth, 2 cups water, and barley. Bring to a boil on high, reduce heat, and let simmer until barley is tender, 20–25 min. Meanwhile, chop turkey into bite-size chunks and refrigerate until needed.
4
When barley is tender, stir turkey and corn into the soup. Season with salt and pepper and cook 5 min. Remove from heat and serve.
