Turkey Lasagna Soup

hangryeconomist.com

This turkey lasagna soup comes together in about half an hour and only requires one pot, so there's hardly any cleanup. The flavors are similar to real lasagna, but we swapped the traditional ground beef or ground pork for ground turkey. It's a slightly healthier alternative to regular lasagna, but just as warm and comforting as the real deal.
