Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground dark-meat turkey (93 percent lean)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) low-sodium chicken broth
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with juices
2 heads escarole (2 pounds total), cored, trimmed, and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine turkey, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roll mixture into 1-tablespoon balls.
  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broth and tomatoes with juices; bring to a simmer. Add meatballs and cook, without stirring, until they float to surface, about 5 minutes.
  • Add as much escarole to pot as will fit. Cook, gradually adding remaining escarole, until wilted and meatballs are cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Thin soup with water, if desired; season with salt and pepper. Serve, sprinkled with cheese.

I thought this soup was just okay. The meatballs were a little bland and the broth was a bit too salty for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out dry and tough. The soup was still good, but the meatballs were a disappointment.

This is the best Italian wedding soup I've ever had. The meatballs are so tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of escarole, so I used kale instead. It worked out great.

I added some chopped spinach to my soup and it was a great addition. It gave the soup a nice pop of color and nutrients.

I love that this recipe uses turkey meatballs instead of beef meatballs. It's a healthier option and the meatballs are just as delicious.
