My mother makes the best minestrone Ive ever had and Im glad to share it with you, It is low calorie, high fiber, low fat and very simple to put together. Even better as leftovers! I have it for lunch every day until its gone and cant wait to make another batch! 150 calories per serving!

My Mothers Turkey Minestrone

1 lb ground turkey
1 large onion, diced

1 large can stewed tomatoes
1 tall can kidney beans
2 tsp basil
2 tsp oregano
1 cup whole wheat macaroni elbows
1 diced zucinni
4 tbsp pomegranate red wine vinegar (any type of vinegar will work!)
1 tbsp parmesan cheese per serving

Brown turkey, onion and garlic in large stock pan. Add broth, frozen veggies, tomatoes, kidney beans, basil and oregano and bring to a boil.
Once boiling add macaroni and zucinni and simmer until pasta is almost tender, 8 -10 min.
Remove from heat and add vinegar. (vinegar is VERY important in achieving the right balance of flavor)
Sprinkle with parmesan. Serve with toasted french bread or bagette
