If you are conscious about your protein intake like I am, then this recipe is for you! I opted to use bone broth instead of chicken broth, making sure I had even more protein. Using lean ground turkey was another way to get a fair amount of protein in with not a lot of fat. I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, please let me know in the comments what you think!

A few notes on things I used in this recipe that may be different from what you choose. I picked very lean (99%) ground turkey. The canned tomatoes I opted for were fire roasted tomatoes. They add a nice flavor, in my opinion. I also forgot, this time around, to add the tomato paste. Don’t forget to add it! It’s good without it, but I like how it tastes with it more! Just adds another dimension to the recipe.
