Italian Ground Turkey Soup

About This Recipe

Italian seasoned ground turkey, garlic, and Calabrian chiles team up with frozen cauliflower gnocchi and green peas, parmigiano reggiano, and a creamy lemon ricotta cheese sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 pound Extra Lean Ground Turkey
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 4 cloves Garlic (crushed or minced)
• 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
• 1-2 Tablespoons Calabrian Peppers
• 3 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
• 1 package Frozen Cauliflower Gnocchi
• 1 1/3 cup 175g Frozen Green Peas
• 4 oz Parmigiano Reggiano or Parmesan (freshly grated)
• 15 oz Low Fat Ricotta Cheese
• Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/4 cup Milk

Instructions

1. Heat a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium heat with the olive oil. Once hot, brown one side of the ground turkey for 3-4 minutes before breaking apart and fully cooking.
2. Add the salt, garlic, Italian seasoning, and peppers. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about a minute.
3. Add the broth and bring to a boil before adding the cauliflower gnocchi. Cook for 5 minutes before adding the peas and cooking another 2 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat and stir in the parmigiano reggiano, followed by the ricotta sauce. Salt to taste and serve immediately (or simmer over low heat until you're serving) with a garnish of freshly grated cheese and parsley or basil.
