Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 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
- 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
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Chop the veggies into small pieces. Heat a large dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed large 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 with a wooden spoon or masher and cook, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes until nearly cooked through and no longer pink.
- Stir in the tomato paste for about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring everything to a boil. Lower to medium-low heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add to the soup. Continue to simmer the soup for 8-12 minutes until the lasagna noodles are al dente.
- Remove from heat. If using spinach, stir it into the hot soup until it wilts.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, Greek yogurt, and parmesan. Add a dollop of ricotta mixture over each bowl of hot soup and sprinkle shredded mozzarella for a cheesy topping. Finish it with a sprinkle of fresh basil.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use chicken bone broth instead of regular chicken broth.
- Adjust seasoning based on individual taste.
- This recipe can be made with ground beef or chicken as well.
