- Using your hands, combine the turkey with the next 6 ingredients (through egg) in a medium bowl and place in the refrigerator.

- Add broth and water, increase heat to high and bring to a simmer.
- Add carrots, tomatoes and tomato paste to the broth, stir to combine and return to a simmer.

- Stir in cheese, hot sauce and oregano.
- Serve with cilantro, tortilla chips and a wedge of lime.
