Skinny Turkey Meatball Tortellini Soup

I made the meatballs using lean ground turkey to keep the fat and calories down, as well as to control the sodium, etc.

However, to save time, you may want to use frozen meatballs. Another option is freshly prepared meatballs. I usually find these in my grocery store’s fresh meat section cooler.

Ingredients

Meatballs

1 pound ground turkey
2 Tablespoons bread crumbs plain or whole wheat
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated (For best flavor, I recommend this, not this.)
1 large eggs
1 clove garlic clove minced
½ teaspoon black pepper ground
¼ teaspoon salt

Soup

2 cups spinach fresh
1 tablespoons coconut oil like this
½ cup white onion diced
3 medium carrots sliced
2 cloves garlic clove minced
32 -ounces chicken broth I used Organic, reduced-sodium
9 ounce cheese tortellini example
⅛ to ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
1 pinch cayenne pepper
⅛ to ¼ teaspoon salt optional
¼ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

More tips…

Additionally, I used 32 ounces of chicken broth for my soup. A lot of this broth is absorbed by the pasta. It’s not a ‘brothy’ soup. If you like more broth, add another 32-ounce carton of chicken broth.

I also used tender refrigerated cheese tortellini. You can use any pasta, corkscrew, elbow, or shells, would all be nice.

My Skinny Turkey Meatball Tortellini Soup is ridiculously easy to make and surprisingly filling. It’s so easy, it’s perfect for any night of the week.

Great recipe! I don’t eat meat but made this for husband. He loved it! Only additions I added were celery and a 15oz can of tomatoes. Great recipe!

Soup is really good. I use as many healthier ingredients that I can. Low sodium chicken broth worked great and I would recommend using another 16-24 oz of vegetable both to stretch this heavily loaded, tasty soup. Great leftover as well.
