Tiny turkey meatballs in a light vegetable broth — a proper warm dinner that feels like a hug without overwhelming your stomach.
Making meatballs tiny (marble-sized) means you can eat just a few and still get meaningful protein. Save the rest for tomorrow.
Serves 1 · 8 min prep · 12 min cook
Mix 4oz (115g) ground turkey with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1 tbsp breadcrumbs. Roll into 8-10 tiny meatballs.
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or skip them (meatballs will be slightly softer). Use lean ground chicken as alternative.
~5 min
Bring 1.5 cups (350ml) chicken broth to a simmer. Add 1/4 cup diced carrot and 1/4 cup diced celery.
~3 min
Gently drop meatballs into the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.
~10 min
Season to taste and serve in a bowl. Add a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Make a double batch of meatballs and freeze half. Drop frozen meatballs straight into simmering broth — they cook in 12 minutes.
