Instructions
  1. Clean and prep your area.
  2. Add oil to a pot on medium-high heat.
  3. Once the pot is hot, add in your turkey. Cook until lightly brown.
  4. Add onion and garlic to the ground turkey and allow the turkey to brown until the onions and garlic become translucent.
  5. Next, add in your tomato paste, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and chili flakes and mix until well combined.
  6. Pour in your chicken broth and stir to combine the ingredients. Continue to cook on high for 5-7 minutes until the soup comes to a boil.
  7. Stir in the salt and half and half until well combined.
  8. Add in your tortellini and cook as directed on the package. (Approximately 3-6 minutes)
  9. Add in the spinach and stir. Lower the pot to low heat to avoid further cooking of tortellini but to maintain a warm soup.

  11. Serve and enjoy!
