Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground turkey

1 onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

28 ounces crushed tomatoes

4 cups low sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces

2 cups fresh spinach

8 tablespoons part-skim ricotta cheese

8 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese

4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil and ground turkey. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon.

2. Add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.

4. Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

5. Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

6. Add broken lasagna noodles. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until noodles are tender.

7. Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.

8. Ladle soup into bowls. Top each with 2 tablespoons ricotta, 2 tablespoons mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon parmesan.

9. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra depth of flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the broth before simmering.

Cook noodles separately if planning to freeze the soup for later.

Swap turkey with lean ground beef or plant-based crumbles if preferred.
