Pasta Fagioli Soup Plus Turkey (Crock-Pot)
This hearty, low-fat soup is a great winter stample. Add the fact that it can be done in the crockpot, and I'm in love. <3 Cook time is the crockpot cooking time. May omit the turkey for a more traditional--and vegetarian-- meal; OR make tiny turkey meatballs in the place of simple ground turkey. Enjoy!
