Ingredients
1 pound Italian ground turkey or chicken sausage (pork-free)
1 yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart low-sodium chicken stock
14 ounces crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sea salt
9 ounces cheese-filled tortellini
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup heavy cream
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Brown the ground turkey or chicken sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat until fully cooked.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent and aromatic.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and chicken stock to the pot, stirring well to combine.
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then stir in the sea salt.
Add the cheese tortellini to the soup and cook according to the package directions, usually around 5-7 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt for about 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure you use a non-pork Italian sausage to keep the recipe strictly compliant. For storage, keep the tortellini separate if possible as they tend to absorb liquid and become soft if stored in the broth too long. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
