Chef's Tip
Nutritional Insight: The high-fibre legume base combined with lean turkey protein slows gastric emptying to stabilize blood glucose and mute food noise on GLP-1 plans. Culinary Hack: Mash a small handful of the cannellini beans against the side of the pot to instantly thicken the broth texture.
