Servings 6
Ingredients
- 10 lasagna noodles, uncooked broken into pieces
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 3 cups tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ medium yellow onion diced
- ⅓ cup ricotta cheese
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the onions and garlic in the olive oil for 3-4 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
- Add the ground meat and cook for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Add the vegetable broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil and oregano. Bring this to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the broken pieces of lasagna noodles and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently so the noodles don’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Once the noodles are al dente, reduce the heat to low and add the ricotta cheese, salt and pepper. Stir until combined and creamy. Serve, top with fresh basil and some parmesan cheese or more ricotta and enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions
- Ground beef or chicken
- Instead of ground turkey, you can use beef or chicken in this recipe. If using beef, I recommend opting for lean or extra lean.
- Vegetarian ground “meat” alternative
- If you plan to make this recipe plant-based, you can use a vegetarian alternative to ground meat.
- Chicken or beef broth
- You can absolutely use another type of broth if this is what you have available. However, if you plan on making this soup vegetarian or vegan, make sure to opt for the appropriate broth for this.
- Cottage cheese
- An alternative to ricotta cheese is cottage cheese. It will add some creaminess and extra protein to the dish, however, it might not melt as well so there may be some curds of cottage cheese in the soup.
- Butter
- This can be used in place of olive oil.
Dietary considerations
- This soup is naturally nut-free.
- Gluten-free: opt for gluten free lasagna noodles.
- Lactose-free: use lactose-free ricotta.
- Dairy-free: use a plant-based ricotta or soft cheese, or omit the ricotta altogether.
- Vegetarian: opt for a plant-based ground “meat” instead of ground turkey.
