Gluten-Free Turkey and Vegetable Meatball Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Meatballs:

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free oats, ground into flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

For the Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks of celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Make the Meatballs:
    • In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, ground gluten-free oats, egg, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well until evenly combined.
    • Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs.
  2. Brown the Meatballs:
    • Heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Brown the meatballs in batches, ensuring they are just seared but not fully cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Soup Base:
    • In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed, and sauté onions, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Simmer the Soup:
    • Pour in the gluten-free broth and the can of diced tomatoes with their juice. Add the browned meatballs back into the pot. Season with dried basil, salt, and pepper.
    • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add Final Vegetables:
    • Add zucchini and green beans to the pot. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the meatballs are cooked through.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
