Ingredients

  • ½ lb ground turkey
  • cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1 onion diced (divided)
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped
  • 3 potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cream cheese spread
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp granulated garlic
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, half the diced onion, breadcrumbs, and half of the seasonings. Mix it all together.
  • In a soup pot, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the remaining onion, celery, and grated carrot for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  • Add in your broth, the rest of the spices, and the diced potatoes. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes while you get those meatballs ready.
  • Roll the turkey mixture into 1-inch balls. (If it’s sticking, wet your hands a bit to make rolling easier!)
  • In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook the meatballs for about 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re golden and cooked through.
  • Transfer the cooked meatballs into the soup pot. Stir in the cream cheese spread until it’s all melted and creamy. Let everything simmer together for another 10 minutes.
  • Serve it up hot! Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top if you’ve got them, and enjoy a warm bowl of goodness.
