Meatballs

1 ¼ lb turkey, ground

2/3 cup panko bread crumbs

3 garlic cloves, minced

3 tbsp parsley, chopped

1/2 cup Parmesan

3 tbsp milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Soup

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, minced

3 carrots, diced

2 stalks celery, diced

10 cups chicken stock

1/2 cup white wine

1 cup whole wheat macaroni, or your favorite whole wheat pasta

1/4 cup dill, minced

1/4 cup basil, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

12 oz spinach, washed and drained

Mix the meatball ingredients together in a large bowl using a fork. Form them into about 35-40 teaspoon-sized meatballs.

Bake at 350 degrees on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven and cook the onion, carrots, and celery over medium heat until soft, for about 5 minutes.

Add the liquids and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta to the broth and cook for 5 minutes. Lower heat. 

Add the herbs and meatballs to the soup. Simmer for another 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper as desired.

Add spinach and cook until wilted. Serve with cheese on top.
