Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 cups chopped leeks

  • 2 cups chopped celery

  • 2 cups chopped carrots

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 8 cups unsalted turkey broth or chicken broth

  • 4 cups water

  • 1 (2 ounce) Parmesan rind

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat fusilli pasta

  • 4 cups shredded cooked turkey breast

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add leeks, celery, carrots, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, 8 to 9 minutes.

  2. Add broth, water and Parmesan rind to the vegetables. Increase heat to high; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-high; add pasta and cook until al dente, 9 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in turkey, lemon juice, parsley, chives and tarragon. Cook until the turkey is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove and discard the Parmesan rind before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
