Lazy Turkey, Bean and Spinach Soup

The best thing about this - it's very quick to make. The original recipe had some processed items I steer clear of (faux parmesean, for example), but when you upgrade the ingredients this was a nice weeknight dinner with leftovers.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound extra lean ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15.8 ounce) can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
8 ounces fresh baby spinach
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. 
Saute the onions until beginning to turn translucent. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and pepper and cook until fragrant (1 min). Add the ground turkey and cook completely (about 7 minutes). Add the oregano, basil, tomatoes and beans. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low, add spinach and cover for about 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Stir to combine. Add broth, stir, and increase heat to medium. Continue to cook until heated through - about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cheese, and serve.
