Lean ground turkey is one of my favorite meats to cook with, if you can’t tell yet. Reason being is it takes on any flavor you want it to! Whether it’s taco meat, lasagna, breakfast “sausage,” or a burger, lean ground turkey is a winner in my book – when done right! When done wrong we’re talking cardboard. When done right, we’re talking low fat, high protein perfection.

Top your big bowl of soup with creamy ricotta and you'd never know this was well under 400 calories per serving.

Fun Fact: my three-year-old refuses to eat this soup because it’s not Lasagna Pasta Skillet. If you haven’t tried that one yet, I’d definitely suggest you give it a try. Regardless of if I strain the soup or not, she knows the difference and she will not budge. Girl knows what she likes, and the rotini noodles are a dead giveaway.

This soup is a family favorite and the portions are generous. Make sure to add ricotta.
Perfect snow day lunch! Easy to prep the night before, and reheats great! Don’t skip the ricotta when serving.
This soup is delicious, it was a perfect dinner for this rainy night. Topped it with ricotta and fresh basil.
Delicious! This was my first time making lasagna soup. It’s a cozy meal for the winter time. This recipe I followed almost exactly- I left out the 4oz of mozzarella as cheese upsets my stomach so I reduced the amount from the recipe and only topped with ricotta and Parmesan cheese. Still absolutely amazing! I also added a few sprinkles of oregano and red pepper flakes. I feel like I could’ve added more noodles (I used rotini) but still a good amount in there. Will be making this again.
