Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the vegan turkey crumbles to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Sprinkle in the paprika, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir to coat the crumbles and onions evenly with the spices.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the gluten-free elbow pasta, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Make sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
Cover the pot and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to your desired texture.
Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
