Instructions
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.
While the turkey cooks, dice the carrots, celery, and onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the cooked turkey, diced carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the crock pot.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth.
Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and cannellini beans to the crock pot.
Season the mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete, cook the pasta separately according to the package directions until al dente, then drain it.
Stir the cooked pasta into the crock pot and let it warm through during the remaining cooking time.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
