Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 lbs lean ground turkey
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1 can crushed tomatoes (14.5 oz)
2 tbsp tomato paste
4–6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
8 broken lasagna noodles
½ cup cooked lentils (optional)
½ cup ricotta or cottage cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella
Italian seasoning, salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté onion until translucent; add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
2. Add ground turkey, cook until browned and cooked through.
3. Stir in diced and crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, and seasoning.
4. Bring to a simmer; add noodles (and lentils if using) and cook 12–15 minutes until tender.
5. Turn off heat. Stir in ricotta or cottage cheese and mozzarella until creamy.
6. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.
Notes
To boost protein, add extra lean turkey or swap ricotta for high-protein cottage cheese.
Add spinach or kale at the end of cooking for extra fiber and greens.
Freeze the soup base without noodles or cheese for best results when reheating.
