Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb turkey sausage, casings removed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 oz high-protein lasagna noodles, broken
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 6 tbsp part-skim shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley, plus more to finish
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced basil

Equipment

  • 5–6 quart slow cooker
  • large skillet
  • ladle
  • tongs
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Brown the turkey sausage, breaking it into small crumbles. Add diced onion and cook until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook briefly.
  2. Transfer the skillet contents to a 5–6-quart slow cooker. Add chicken broth, water, marinara, bay leaves, oregano, paprika, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours, allowing the flavors to develop into a rich, tomato-forward broth.
  4. 30 minutes before serving, stir in broken high-protein lasagna noodles and chopped parsley. Cover and continue cooking until noodles are al dente.
  5. In a small bowl, mix ricotta with grated Parmesan. Set aside.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of ricotta mixture, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a few fresh basil slices.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Add extra broth if the soup has thickened too much.

• Use high-protein pasta for a macro-friendly twist.
• Add ricotta only at serving to keep broth clear.
• Freeze the base without pasta; add fresh noodles when reheating.
