Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 large carrots cut into half circles
  • 2 celery stalks diced

  1. Heat a large nonstick saucepan or cast iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through. Drain and discard the liquid. Transfer the ground turkey to a bowl.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the olive oil to the saucepan. Stir in the onion, carrot and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic, thyme and pepper, and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add the pesto and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a lively simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the ground turkey and tortellini, and cook until the tortellini is tender, 5 minutes for fresh and 8 minutes for frozen.
  6. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve.
