Ingredients
- 2 lbs. lean ground turkey 99/1
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced 135g
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
- 1.5 Tbsp. dried basil
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes depending on desired heat
- Fresh cracked pepper
- 1 large can Crushed Tomatoes 28 oz.
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies 10 oz.
- 2 cups water
- 4 cups low sodium beef broth 32 oz.
- 8 oz. uncooked lasagna noodles broken into pieces
- 3 oz. part skim ricotta cheese
Toppings:
- ricotta cheese
- fresh chopped basil
- crushed red pepper
- grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large 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.
- 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, rotel, 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. I like to add a lot of fresh ground pepper.
- Add the uncooked broken lasagne noodles directly to the sauce and submerge so they’re covered for cooking. Bring the sauce with noodles to a rapid boil. Lower heat to a steady simmer and cook noodles for 12-15 minutes until the noodles are cooked to desired doneness.
- Once the pasta is cooked, stir in ricotta cheese. Serve hot!
- Serve immediately topped with a extra dollop of ricotta cheese if desired, fresh grated parmesan cheese and fresh chopped basil.

Notes
- Nutrition info is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
- Feel free to use any noodle of choice or a gluten-free variety.
- Sub out ground turkey for chicken, pork or beef.
- NOTE! This soup thickens as it sits and once it is refrigerated. The noodles soak up the liquid. When reheating add additional water or low-sodium beef broth to loosen it back up.
