Happy Tuesday, y'all! Today I am sharing one of my go to meals. When I was on bedrest a sweet neighbor shared this recipe with me and we loved it. I make up batches to eat now and others to freeze for tough days that either I just don't have time to do the chopping and prep that many delicious meals require or my guy has a business dinner and my goal is to keep it simple.
Grocery List/Check your pantry for:
1 lb Ground Turkey
1 Egg
½ Cup Bread Crumbs
2 T Olive Oil
1 Small onion
2 Carrots
2 Celery Stalks
½ tsp Marjoram
Salt to taste
½ tsp Pepper
¼ Cup White Cooking Wine
6 Can Chicken Broth
2 Cups Cooked Penne Pasta
Directions:
Cook Penne pasta according to package while preparing the meal. We like to use whole wheat pasta.
Then in a mixing bowl mix egg, bread crumbs, and turkey meat. Make meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
Cook in skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil.
Let them rest on a plate.
Wash & chop veggies.
Sauté veggies with remaining oil over low heat until tender.
Add seasonings with about 2 mins remaining in skillet.
NOTE: I used a skillet for the veggie portion during this documentation but I recommend using a small stock pot.
Add chicken broth and meatballs to veggies. Simmer for 15 mins.
Drain pasta and dish ¼ cup of cooked pasta into bowl. Using a ladle, dish a couple scoop fulls over the bowl of pasta.
ENJOY!!
