Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 small onion diced
• 1.25 lb ground turkey lean
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cups great northern beans undrained
• 2 zucchini diced
• 2 carrots unpeeled, diced
• 28 oz roasted diced tomatoes drained
• 2 small potatoes diced
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper or more to taste
• ½ cup whole wheat pasta
• 2 cups lacinato kale chopped
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

How the cooking goes

1. Sauté garlic, onion, and carrots in 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Keep the heat low to release the moisture without browning. This is called “sweating.” You can add additional oil if desired.
2. Push the vegetables to the edges of the pot and brown the ground turkey in the center. Add all remaining ingredients except kale. Simmer gently until pasta and veggies are tender.
3. Add kale and continue to simmer until soft, about another 5 minutes.
4. Serve with crusty bread and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

After it comes off the heat

Cool the pot before it goes into the refrigerator. It reheats gently on the stove the next day.
