Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb lean ground turkey, 93% lean
1 cup fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large white onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
3 poblano peppers, diced
3 plum tomatoes, diced
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 jalapeno, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
  • Place turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bow. Mix gently until combined. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 balls and transfer to the baking sheet. (You should have about 20 meatballs.) Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes or until ready to use.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add peppers, tomatoes, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add broth, increase heat to high and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully submerge the meatballs in the simmering soup; return to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with jalapeno and cilantro.
