- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium/high heat and add pancetta and ground turkey.

- Add the onions to the dutch oven and turn the heat to medium and cook onion until translucent then add garlic to the onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring consistently.
- Remove onion and garlic from pot and the add olive oil. Deglaze the pan by scraping all the meat and onion bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add mushrooms to the Dutch oven and cook for 3-4 minutes and then add farro to the mushrooms. Stir consistently for 2-3 minutes.
- Finally, add all ingredients including the cooked garlic and onions (except for the kale) to the dutch oven. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Cover and reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add kale and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
