Tips:
- Choose the Right Ground Turkey: Opt for a lean ground turkey with a fat content of 93% or higher to ensure a healthier and flavorful soup.
- Season the Meatballs Generously: Don't shy away from using a variety of herbs and spices to infuse bold flavors into your meatballs. Experiment with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
- Handle the Meatballs Gently: Be delicate when forming the meatballs to prevent them from becoming tough. Avoid overworking the meat mixture, as this can result in dense and dry meatballs.
- Brown the Meatballs Properly: Searing the meatballs in a hot pan before adding them to the soup enhances their flavor and texture. Make sure the meatballs are browned on all sides for an even cook.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to a few vegetables. Incorporate a mix of colorful and nutritious vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and spinach to add depth and texture to the soup.
- Simmer for Rich Flavor: Allow the soup to simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop. This step is crucial for creating a flavorful and satisfying soup.
