Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Lean ground turkey
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (whole wheat, if possible)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 medium Carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 medium Celery stalk, diced
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 cups Baby spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup Small pasta (such as acini di pepe or orzo)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then roll into small, bite-sized meatballs (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the pasta and return the meatballs to the pot. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and the meatballs are fully cooked through.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Low Calorie Spinach Mushroom Wedding Soup!
