🥣 Key Ingredients For a Turkey Pumpkin Lasagna Soup Recipe

This turkey pumpkin lasagna soup is not only easy to make, but it’s also loaded with gut-healthy ingredients.

1. Pumpkin - Canned pumpkin is high in fiber and vitamin A, which supports gut lining and skin health.
2. Turkey - Ground turkey (or red lentils for a vegan option) provides lean protein, while the lentils add a plant-based protein boost with fiber.
3. Spinach - Rich in antioxidants and helps promote healthy digestion.
4. Coconut Milk - Adds a creamy texture, and its medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are easy on digestion.
5. Extra Virgin Olive Oil - I like extra virgin olive oil, but you can swap with avocado oil.
6. Gluten-Free Lasagna Noodles - Keeps this recipe friendly for those with gluten sensitivities, while still offering the texture of traditional lasagna.
7. Spices & Herbs - In addition to salt and pepper, I added Italian seasoning, and fresh basil and parsley for garnish at the end.
8. Fresh Garlic - Garlic adds a pungent and savory depth that complements the soup nicely. If you can't find fresh garlic, opt for garlic powder instead.

👩‍🍳 Directions For Turkey Pumpkin Lasagna Soup Recipe

This turkey pumpkin lasagna soup recipe makes about 6 servings and takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and cook from start to finish. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal or meal prep!

Step 1: Saute Aromatics

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2: Cook Turkey or Lentils

Add ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. If using lentils, simply rinse and add them directly to the pot at the same stage. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Add Tomato Base

Stir in the tomato paste, marinara sauce, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Add the broken lasagna noodles and canned pumpkin. Stir well to combine, and bring the soup back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the noodles are tender and cooked through.

Step 5: Finish With Coconut Milk and Spinach

Stir in coconut milk and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt in the hot soup.

Step 6: Top With Ricotta

Either stir in ricotta cheese for a creamier texture, or serve the soup with a dollop of ricotta (or the dairy-free alternative) in the center of each bowl.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Top with fresh basil and parsley for a burst of freshness. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting bowl of turkey pumpkin lasagna soup!

🩺 Nutritional Health Benefits of This Turkey Pumpkin Lasagna Soup For Gut Health

This easy one pot turkey pumpkin lasagna soup is packed with gut-friendly, nutrient-rich ingredients that offer numerous health benefits. Each ingredient works together to nourish your gut and enhance overall well-being.

• Canned Pumpkin - High in fiber, canned pumpkin promotes smooth digestion and helps regulate bowel movements. It’s also rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A—a key nutrient for supporting the gut lining and immune health. The fiber content helps balance gut bacteria, making it great for a healthy microbiome.
• Ground Turkey (or Red Lentils) - Turkey is a lean source of protein, which helps keep your digestive system functioning optimally while supporting hormone balance. Red lentils, as a plant-based alternative, provide both protein and fiber, which are important for gut health and help regulate blood sugar levels.
• Spinach - This leafy green is a powerhouse of nutrients like magnesium and fiber, both of which support digestion and gut motility. Magnesium also plays a role in hormone regulation, particularly for stress and sleep, which are both closely tied to digestive health.
• Coconut Milk - The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut milk are easily absorbed and used as quick energy by the body, making it easier to digest than traditional dairy. Coconut milk’s healthy fats also support hormone production and balance, while its anti-inflammatory properties soothe the gut lining.
• Gluten-Free Lasagna Noodles - Gluten-free noodles are ideal for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone wanting to reduce inflammation in the gut. These noodles offer a comforting texture without causing the digestive issues that gluten can sometimes trigger.
• Garlic and Onion - Both garlic and onion contain prebiotics, which are essential for feeding the beneficial bacteria in your gut. These ingredients also have antimicrobial properties, which can help keep the gut balanced by reducing harmful bacteria while promoting the growth of good bacteria.
• Carrots - Rich in antioxidants, carrots are great for supporting immune health and reducing inflammation in the body. Their fiber content also helps maintain a healthy digestive system, and their beta-carotene content contributes to healthy skin and eyes, benefiting you inside and out.

This combination of gut-friendly, nutrient-dense ingredients makes turkey pumpkin lasagna soup a great option for supporting digestive health, balanced hormones, and overall wellness.

❄️ Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a bit more broth if the soup thickens.

Freeze - Transfer the soup to a freezer-safe container and store for up to 3 months.

Reheat - Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to thin it out if needed.

😷 Food Safety

Food safety is a serious concern, especially when preparing raw turkey. Here are a few food safety tips to be reminded of.

• Wash hands properly with soap and water for 20 seconds after touching raw turkey.
• Cook turkey to a minimum temperature of 165 °F (74 °C)
• Do not use the same utensils on cooked food that previously touched raw turkey. This is especially true if prepping a raw salad on the side.
• Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods.
• Don't wash raw turkey before cooking it. This is not necessary, as any bacteria will be killed after cooking. Washing raw turkey is the fastest way to result in cross-contamination and food-borne illness.
