BETTY'S TURKEY MEATBALL SOUP

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
• Place turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bow. Mix gently until combined. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 balls and transfer to the baking sheet. (You should have about 20 meatballs.) Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes or until ready to use.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add peppers, tomatoes, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add broth, increase heat to high and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Carefully submerge the meatballs in the simmering soup; return to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with jalapeno and cilantro.
