Gobble, Gobble



Turkey. Not just for Thanksgiving. 

This is a very nice soup.

Keep it in mind for the next soup weather day.

We recently made it on the last soup weather day.

Good anytime.



Turkey Meatball Soup

½ lb. ground turkey
3 T. grated Parmesan cheese
4 T. fine dried bread crumbs
1 large egg
1 T. fresh minced parsley or 1 t. dried
S and P to taste
1 qt. chicken broth
½ c. frozen or fresh peas
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 small zucchini, finely diced (optional)
½ c. precooked tiny pasta, such as orzo, shells, rings, or precooked rice

In a medium bowl, mix together the turkey, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, and S and P. With moistened hands, form the mixture into balls about the size of marbles. Remove them to a large plate, cover with wax paper and refrigerate until ready to cook.

In a large pot, bring the broth to a simmer. Add the peas, carrots, and zucchini and cook for 5 minutes or until just tender. Slowly add the turkey meatballs, keeping the liquid at a slow simmer. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until the turkey balls float to the top. Add the cooked pasta, and heat through. Serve in soup bowls and pass additional Parmesan cheese if you wish.
