Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound extra lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 14.5 ounce can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 15.8 ounce can great northern beans, drained and rinsed. I used cannellini beans instead
  • 8 ounces baby spinach
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the turkey with the onions, garlic, red pepper flake ,and pepper until the turkey is cooked through and then onions are translucent (about 7 minutes).
  • Add the oregano, basil, tomatoes (with liquid), and beans. Stir to combine.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add spinach and cover for about 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Stir to combine.
  • Add broth, stir, and increase heat to medium. Continue to cook until heated through - about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in parmesan cheese, and serve.
