I've taken this recipe from the site Girlversusdough.com with a slight adaptation.
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan and more for topping soup
2 tsps. minced garlic
1 egg
1 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 tsp pepper or several grinds of fresh pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cans chicken broth
2 cans diced tomatoes with juices
1 bunch kale, leaves coarsely chopped (I substituted baby spinach)
2/3 cup ditalini or elbow macaroni (Optional -- this was my addition)
Combine turkey, breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, egg, salt and pepper until mixed. Shape into smallish one inch balls.
Heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened. Add broth and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and add meatballs.
Cook, without stirring, for five minutes or until meatballs float to the surface. Add kale (or spinach) and stir gently. Add small pasta if using. Cook five to six minutes until greens are tender, meatballs are cooked through and pasta is al dente.
Serve sprinkled with more Parmesan.
Buon Appetito!
Coming next week --
the further adventures of Lucille and Flo!
The USA Today bestselling author of Unholy Matrimony is back with a new Lucille Mystery! This
time Lucille must track down
the killer of a diet guru who had a lot more to lose than just a few extra
pounds.
With
her best friend Flo’s wedding approaching, Lucille is desperate to trim down
and joins Weigh to Lose, a weight-loss program led by a clipboard-wielding
harridan who’s as unattractively thin as she is shrill. When the bossy woman turns
up dead with her throat slashed and a tasty-looking cannoli stuffed in her
mouth, Lucille figures she got her just desserts.
But when the local police come up empty-handed, Lucille sinks her teeth into the mystery and narrows
the list of suspects to a husband with a wandering eye, a sexy young Swedish au
pair, and a gambler deep in debt to the wrong people. Until one of the suspects
becomes the victim of another gruesome murder.
Afraid
she’s bitten off more than she can chew and worried that she might be next on
the killer’s list, Lucille puts her own neck on the line with a wild plan to trap
the culprit and tip the scales of justice.
“If
you want a very funny murder mystery, then this book is for you. I’ve never
laughed so hard while reading before.” —Goodreads, on Unholy Matrimony, Book 2 in the USA Today bestselling Lucille Mystery

The county fair is the highlight of the year for the small town of
Lovett, Michigan—especially for food-and-lifestyle blogger Shelby
McDonald, who writes as the Farmer’s Daughter. She’s submitting jams and
jellies she’s created from the produce she grows at Love Blossom Farm
in hopes of harvesting a blue ribbon.
But the townspeople get
more than just the excitement of hayrides, tractor pulls, and cotton
candy when Shelby’s neighbor and volunteer fireman, Jake Taylor,
extricates the body of Zeke Barnstable instead of a dummy during a
demonstration of the Jaws of Life. The fact that Jake and Zeke were
known to be at odds plants suspicion in the minds of the police. As
evidence against Jake grows, Shelby knows she has to plow through the
clues to weed out the true killer and save her friend.
