Heat the avocado oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon until it is fully browned.
Stir in the diced yellow onion, carrots, and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.
Add the shredded green cabbage, dried thyme, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the cabbage is perfectly tender.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar just before serving to brighten the savory notes of the broth.
