Ingredients

    1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp chopped onions
    1 pound Italian seasoned ground turkey
    1 egg, beaten
    Black pepper grinder
    Italian seasoning grinder
    Crushed red pepper
    1 can Italian seasoned stewed tomatoes
    1 can (4 oz) tomato paste
    1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
    1 green bell pepper, chopped
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 tbsp minced garlic
    1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
    1 can low sodium chicken broth
    1 cup lentils
    1 can mushrooms
    1 bay leaf
    3 leaves fresh oregano

Directions

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.
