  1. 1

    Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey, salt, and black pepper, and cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it into rough 1/2-inch pieces with a wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the cooked turkey to a 5-quart slow cooker and set the cooker to low.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the celery, carrots, and onion. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer the onion mixture to the slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth and the diced tomatoes with their juices into the slow cooker. Stir in the Italian seasoning, cover the slow cooker, and cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours.

  4. 4

    Halfway through the cooking time, stir in the zucchini slices, replace the lid, and continue cooking.

  5. 5

    For serving, stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Tear the spinach leaves and place about 1/4 cup in the bottom of each soup bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the spinach, stir, and serve. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
