Instructions

1. Cook the meat

2. Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

3. Add ground turkey and cook 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned.

4. Stir in garlic and cook another 30 seconds.

2. Build the soup base

1. Add marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth.

2. Stir well to combine.

3. Add Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Bring the soup to a gentle boil.

3. Cook the noodles

1. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the soup.

2. Reduce heat to medium-low.

3. Simmer 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.

If soup becomes too thick, add extra broth or water.

4. Prepare the cheese topping

In a small bowl combine:
