Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 zucchini squash, chopped
- 1–2 large carrots, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½–1 tsp kosher salt (to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 2 (15 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 6–8 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Chop the veggies into small pieces.
- Heat a large dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot on medium heat to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat.
- Add the vegetables including the onion, carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add the ground turkey, seasonings, and garlic. Break apart the turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until nearly cooked through.
- Stir in the tomato paste for about 1 minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to medium-low heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the soup. Simmer for 8-12 minutes until the noodles are al dente.
- Remove from heat. If using spinach, stir it into the soup until it wilts.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, Greek yogurt, and parmesan. Add a dollop of this mixture over each bowl of soup and sprinkle with mozzarella for a cheesy topping. Finish with fresh basil.
Notes
- Adjust the kosher salt to taste.
- The spinach is optional but adds a nice touch of color and nutrition.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey with another protein if desired.
