  • 3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 2 Small Red Potatoes Cubed
  • 1/2 Onion Chopped
  • 1 Bunch Kale Roughly Chopped

  • 1 C Green Beans Chopped in 1" Pieces
  • 1 LB Turkey Meatballs
  • 1 TSP Italian Seasoning

Instructions
 

Meatballs

  • Combine ground turkey, salt, italian seasoning, garlic powder, pepper, and onion together in a medium bowl. Whisk egg, and pour half of the egg into bowl with the other ingredients. Combine with a metal spoon until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Heat a deep pan over medium high heat, and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Fill the metal spoon with meat mixture and roll into a ball. Add to the pan, cooking about 2 minutes on each side, until the internal temp is at least 161 F. Repeat the process with the rest of the meatballs. Set on paper towels to drain.

Soup

  • Combine chicken broth + crushed tomatoes, and thyme together in a large pot or dutch oven and bring to a boil. Add in carrots, potatoes, onions, kale, and green beans and cook covered on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Uncover, add in meatballs, and italian seasoning. Taste and begin adding salt + pepper to taste. I like to add in salt 1 TSP at a time, and pepper 1/2 TSP at a time, stirring and tasting, until it's to my liking. Serve warm and enjoy!
