How to make turkey lasagna soup
Heat oil, garlic and onion and add turkey
Heat a large stock pot or dutch oven or over medium-high heat and add oil and garlic. Cook the garlic until fragrant. Add onions and cook until translucent, stirring often. Add ground turkey to the pan and cook until browned. Break the turkey up as you cook into bite size pieces.
Add seasonings, crushed tomatoes, water, broth and bring to boil
Once the turkey is browned, add Italian Seasoning, basil, salt, fresh cracked pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix together well to coat the turkey evenly. Add crushed tomatoes, water and broth to the pot and bring to a rapid boil. Taste your sauce and see if you need to add any salt, pepper or additional seasonings to taste.
Add pasta
Add uncooked pasta to the sauce. Pictured I am using rotini but you can also use lasagna noodles broken into pieces, Campanelle, Gemelli, etc. Bring sauce with noodles to a rapid boil. Lower heat to a steady simmer and cook noodles for 10 minutes until cooked to desired doneness.
Add mozzarella and serve hot
Once the pasta is cooked add mozzarella cheese ad stir to melt. Serve immediately topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese (not included in nutrition facts but you’ll want to add it on top), fresh chopped basil, red pepper flakes and freshly grated parmesan cheese.

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.
My husband and I love lazy lasagna but wanted to try something different and found this. It will def become a staple in the rotation!!
