Turkey Meatball Soup

I love ground up turkey, we have made burgers and stir frys and meatballs. So I tried some meatball soup!!

So simple to do, great flavor, the turkey stays nice and moist and retains great taste. A simple soup to make and quick!

You will need:

1lb ground turkey
2 or 3 stalks and leaves of Bok choy
3 stalks of celery
1 handful of cilantro
3 green onions
1 carton of chicken stock
2 carrots
1 handful of bread crumbs
2 minced garlics
salt and pepper to taste

Start by mixing your turkey with 1 of the green onions finely chopped, salt and pepper, garlic and breadcrumbs. Make into any size meatball you desire. This pot is a 7qt dutch oven, I just made them about inch by inch.
Brown these on med high heat turning once or twice in a dash of olive oil.

Next, you want to add chopped bok choy, celery, green onion, carrot and chopped cilantro. Season well with salt and pepper and cook on med high heat for 10-15 mins. Then add your stock and 2 more parts water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hr. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Once soup was done, I added some fresh Gnocchi  click here. I bought them at askews. They are really tasty. They take minutes to cook. I brought soup back up to a boil, added Gnocchi, and they float to the top when done. Serve up and enjoy!

The broth tastes similar to a won ton. Very tasty. The cilantro adds a wonderful flavor. The boys ate the soup right up...except they refused the Gnocchi. Ha we had some fun teasing them....Gnocchi's for supper all week we told them! These kind were made mostly of potato, very light flavor, We enjoyed them....Enjoy!!!
