Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 0.25 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 large, diced carrot
• 2 diced celery stalks
• 0.5 medium, finely diced onion
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 1 medium, spiralized zucchini (optional, for mock noodles)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly combine.

Step 2

Roll the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Carefully add the meatballs to the soup, one at a time, ensuring they do not touch to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the meatballs cook uncovered for about 15 minutes. They should cook through and begin to float.

Step 7

Add the baby spinach to the pot and gently stir to wilt it into the broth. If using spiralized zucchini as mock noodles, add it now and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
