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!"

Cook, stirring occasionally, till garlic is fragrant & zucchini golden (less than 5 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside; return pan to heat. To same pan, add ground turkey. Cook, breaking up, until no longer pink. Remove from pan.

  1. My husband really loved this. My stepson and I thought that it might need a dash or so of hot sauce which made the flavors pop. Loved it, perfect for a great fall/winter transition. Thank you!
