This healthy Pasta Fagioli is the perfect comfort food without the guilt! It’s filling, nutritious, and easy to make for a weeknight meal or meal prep.

Pasta Fagioli, a traditional Italian soup, is typically made with pasta, beans, vegetables, and sometimes ground meat. To make a healthier version, I’m using lean ground turkey instead of higher-fat proteins. This version is packed with nutrients, lower in saturated fat, and just as flavorful as the classic!

Why This Recipe is Healthier:

Lean Ground Turkey: A lower-fat alternative to beef or sausage, reducing saturated fat while providing high-quality protein.
Low-Sodium Broth: Helps control sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.
Lots of Vegetables: Onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes add vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Fiber-Packed Beans: Essential for heart health and digestion, beans provide plant-based protein and help keep you full longer.
