Turkey Meatball Soup

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the turkey meatballs

   • In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, beaten egg, 1 minced garlic clove, dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
   • Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
   • Roll the mixture into small, 1-inch meatballs. You should have about 16-20 meatballs.
2. 2

   Sear meatballs and sauté vegetables

   • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
   • Carefully add the meatballs in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. They don't need to be cooked through.
   • Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a plate.
   • Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.
   • Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
