  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 cups sliced green beans

  • 2 quarts chicken broth
  • 15-oz can pinto beans
  • 1 tsp. each dried basil, oregano, and rosemary
  • 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes or 1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded spinach, chard, or cabbage
  • 1 tsp. salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Brown ground turkey and garlic in olive oil. Add vegetables, broth, beans, and herbs and stir to mix. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.

Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, and elbow macaroni and mix well. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until pasta is done.

Add greens and stir. Cover and cook on medium heat for another five minutes, or until greens are wilted.

Add salt and pepper and mix well. Garnish with parmesan cheese if desired.
