Italian Wedding Soup With Turkey Meatballs

• 12 ounces ground turkey meat (preferably white meat)
• 1/3 cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
• 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus a few grinds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, sliced lengthwise and cut thinly crosswise
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 8 cups chicken stock (low-sodium, if possible)
• 3 cups kale, stems removed and leaves sliced thin
• 2 cups escarole, core removed and leaves sliced thin (if you can't find escarole, just substitute with more kale)
• Parmesan cheese for serving

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey meat, bread crumbs, egg whites, 1 clove garlic, oregano, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs, place on a baking sheet, and refrigerate.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
3. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic, saute for 5 minutes. Add celery and carrot and saute 5 more minutes. Add stock and 1 teaspoon salt. Turn heat to high. Once boiling, add kale and escarole. Turn heat back down to medium-low, cover Dutch oven, and simmer 15 minutes.
4. In the meantime, place meatballs in oven and bake 12 minutes. When finished, add meatballs to soup and cook an additional 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Parmesan sprinkled on top.
