Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey, onion, celery, and garlic in the hot skillet until turkey is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer to a slow cooker.
Pour in kidney and great northern beans, water, tomato sauce, basil, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir well and cover. Cook until reduced and thickened, on Low for 8 hours, or High for 4 hours.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and stir into soup. Serve.
