Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated onion, egg, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Transfer the baking sheet with meatballs to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove and set aside.
  3. In a large soup pot, pour in the chicken or vegetable stock along with enough water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Add chopped carrots, celery, dried thyme, basil, salt, and pepper, and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the baked turkey meatballs, dried noodles, diced red pepper, and chopped green onions into the broth. Continue cooking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked and flavors meld.
  5. Ladle the Turkey Meatball Noodle Soup into bowls and enjoy warm with crusty bread.
