Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 8 no-boil lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (optional, for creaminess)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by browning the lean ground turkey or chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, transfer the meat to your Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker and set aside.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic directly to the slow cooker. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to enhance the Mediterranean flavor profile.
- Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until noodles are tender. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped spinach for freshness.
- If you prefer a creamier soup, add ricotta cheese at the end of cooking and stir well to create a luscious texture.
- Garnish your Mediterranean recipe with freshly chopped basil or parsley for a vibrant finish. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
Notes
- For gluten-free variation, substitute regular lasagna noodles with gluten-free pasta or rice noodles.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in microwave or on stovetop.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
