TURKEY MEATBALL STEW



Turkey Meatball Stew image

A relatively quick and easy stew which will serve many (or make many servings for the freezer). This is a great way to get reluctant kids and husbands to eat some veggies, and because you bake the meatballs, it cuts out on a lot of the fat normally found in pan-fried meatballs. Feel free to vary the ingredients (adding more or less of something as you like). This can be served as a lunch/light dinner, or as a starter for a meal. I serve this with grated parmesan cheese on top, and crusty bread for dipping.

Time 1h35m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 lb ground turkey
1/3-1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon oregano
8 cups water
1 (3 2/3 g) chicken bouillon cubes
4 large potatoes, cut into 1-2 inch chunks
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can green beans, kitchen-cut and undrained
1 cup baby carrots, peeled
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon thyme
2 tablespoons garlic, minced (I used the canned stuff for spreading on garlic bread)
1 pinch sugar
1 pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine the first seven ingredients, and form into meatballs.
  • Place meatballs on a roasting pan, and bake in oven for about 20-25 mins (depending on the size of the meatballs).
  • Turn the oven to broil, and let the meatballs broil for about 5 minutes, or until a nice crust has formed. Remove from oven.
  • Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a large soup pot, stirring to mix and to help dissolve the tomato paste.
  • Cover pot and heat over low-medium heat until stew begins to bubble (about 20-30 minutes), and reduce heat.
  • Add meatballs, and continue cooking for at least another 40 minutes. (You are certainly welcome to let it cook longer).

cooking spray
1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups cubed peeled potatoes
1 cup peeled, chopped carrots
1 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray, set on prepared baking sheet, and set aside.
  • Combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the baking rack.

Add tomatoes, chicken broth, potatoes, carrots, peas, basil, and red pepper flakes; stir until well combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes and carrots are cooked and the broth has somewhat reduced, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Stir in meatballs and simmer until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Season stew with salt and pepper.

TURKEY MEATBALL AND VEGETABLE STEW



Turkey Meatball and Vegetable Stew image

The flavor and color of fresh vegetables and herbs abound in this stew. Make the meatballs first, and let them firm up in the refrigerator while you chop the veggies for the stew. Serve on its own, with hot biscuits, or over mashed potatoes or noodles, whichever your family prefers. Satisfying, but light, I hope it's a keeper for you!

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

½ cup quick-cooking oats
½ cup minced white onion
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
3 cups chopped butternut squash
2 cups chopped carrots
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped parsnips
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
6 cups chicken broth
⅔ cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen green peas
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine oats, onion, mushrooms, basil, parsley, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Add beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Add turkey, and using a rubber spatula, stir and mash ingredients together evenly. Form into 27 to 30 meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
  • Combine butternut squash, carrots, mushrooms, celery, parsnips, red onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and pepper in a 6-quart kettle or Dutch oven. Pour in broth and wine; mix to combine. Bring to a boil over medium high-heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Make sure the liquid is at a true simmer, with small, intermittent bubbles.
  • Gently add meatballs one at a time, without stirring, as this will cause the meatballs to fall apart. Reduce heat to low. Cook until the bottoms of the meatballs begin to turn white, about 3 minutes. Gently turn meatballs to allow the other side to cook. Increase heat to medium-low and cook for about 10 minutes. Turn meatballs again, and continue to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir in frozen peas.
  • Test meatballs for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. The safe internal temperature for meatballs is 175 degrees F (79 degrees C).
  • If stew is too thin, remove about 1/2 cup of broth to a cup and allow to cool briefly. Briskly stir in cornstarch until there are no lumps. Gradually add slurry to the stew, stirring constantly, and cook until the broth has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
