Cooking Instructions

  • Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and green pepper, sautéing until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Toss in the zucchini, cooking until it softens slightly, around 3-4 minutes. Then, mix in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Push the veggies to the side and add ground turkey. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
  • Stir in salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the spices.
  • Pour in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes with their juice, chicken stock, and water. Stir well, then bring to a boil before reducing to a simmer.
  • Add the broken lasagna noodles now, cooking for 12-15 minutes until they’re tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Stir in the unsalted butter, giving the soup a luxurious finish. Adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve hot, topped with parmesan and mozzarella.
