Turkey Meatball Stew
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 8 cups water
- 1 (3 2/3 g) chicken bouillon cubes
- 4 large potatoes, cut into 1-2 inch chunks
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can green beans, kitchen-cut and undrained
- 1 cup baby carrots, peeled
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon basil
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced (I used the canned stuff for spreading on garlic bread)
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 pinch sea salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the first seven ingredients, and form into meatballs.
- Place meatballs on a roasting pan, and bake in oven for about 20-25 mins (depending on the size of the meatballs).
- Turn the oven to broil, and let the meatballs broil for about 5 minutes, or until a nice crust has formed. Remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a large soup pot, stirring to mix and to help dissolve the tomato paste.
- Cover pot and heat over low-medium heat until stew begins to bubble (about 20-30 minutes), and reduce heat.
- Add meatballs, and continue cooking for at least another 40 minutes. (You are certainly welcome to let it cook longer).
