- Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp chopped onions1 pound Italian seasoned ground turkey1 egg, beatenBlack pepper grinderItalian seasoning grinderCrushed red pepper1 can Italian seasoned stewed tomatoes1 can (4 oz) tomato paste1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce1 green bell pepper, chopped1 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp minced garlic1 1/2 cups chopped carrots1 can low sodium chicken broth1 cup lentils1 can mushrooms1 bay leaf3 leaves fresh oregano
Use a large bowl to combine turkey, 2 tbsp onion, egg, black pepper, italian seasoning, and red pepper. Use your hands to mix well and form 1 inch meatballs. Brown the meatballs in a non-stick skillet.
Combine meatballs and all remaining ingredients, except for the oregano, in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until lentils and carrots are tender (around 45 minutes to an hour). While the soup is simmering, add the chopped, fresh oregano for extra flavor. You could garnish the soup with an italian blend of cheese. I found one that is a blend of asiago, mozzarella, and parmesan! You could also add a sprig of parsley if you like.
