For the Topping:

- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 large garlic clove grated

Instructions
- Preheat large pot on medium-high heat and add ground turkey. Cook for 5 minutes breaking into small pieces, stirring constantly. Transfer to a medium bowl, along with any juices, and set aside.
- Swirl oil to coat and add onion and garlic, saute for 3 minutes, stirring a few times. Add carrots and celery, saute for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, saute for 30 seconds, stirring often.
- Add previously cooked ground turkey, tomato sauce and chicken broth, cover and bring to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and pepper, stir well to separate and dunk the noodles. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic and parsley. Set aside.
- Turn off heat and add salt, if necessary.
- Serve soup hot with dollops of cottage cheese mixture and a slice of bread.
Notes
Store: Refrigerate soup leftovers for 2 days. Soup can last for 3-4 days but I find pasta becomes too soggy after 2 days. You can also thin out the soup with more broth and spices as it will thicken with time.
I don't recommend to freeze this soup because noodles will become mushy upon thawing.
