Ingredients:
3/4 pound ground turkey
1/4 cup cold water
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup finely minced onion
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon salt
Watkins Black Pepper
8 cups chicken broth
2 large carrots, chopped
1 cup orzo or pastina
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach, washed, trimmed, and torn into bite-size pieces
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, water, egg, onion, bread crumbs, cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
In a large pot, combine the broth and carrots and bring them to a simmer. Add the orzo and let it cook for 5 minutes (pastina takes 2 minutes), stirring frequently.
Add the meatballs and simmer them in the broth for 10 minutes. Then stir in the spinach and simmer it until it’s wilted, about 1 minute. Serves 6 to 8.
