Gingered-Turkey Meatball Soup is one of the recipe selected for this month, from Everyday Dorie, at Cook The Book Fridays. Ground turkey is not an easy ingredient to find, so I have used ground chicken meat instead.
This is a fairly easy dish to prepare. To make the meatballs, mix together egg, yoghurt (I've used sour cream), chopped onion, fresh cilantro, dry bread crumbs, chopped garlic, grated fresh ginger, lemon zest, salt and pepper. This mixture is then scooped (I used a heaping tablespoon )and shape into round meatballs. Drop them into the pot of boiling broth, and add veggies of your choice. I've used spinach and carrots. Then add the drained noodles (which was cooked in boiling water earlier), heat through and ladle into bowls to serve.
The meatballs are tasty. With it's name Gingered-Turkey Meatball Soup, I cannot taste the ginger at all, and the taste of the lemon is a little strong. I may make the meatballs again, as they are rather tasty, but I'll skip the lemon, perhaps pan-fry them as small patties, to enjoy them with chilli sauce.

These meatballs would be delicious pan-fried with chili sauce. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a bummer you couldn't taste the ginger...it certainly added a pop of flavor!
ReplyDeleteThis is so comforting, healthy and tasty!
ReplyDeletelooks absolutely delicious !
ReplyDeleteI baked the meatballs in the oven and they were SO good!
ReplyDeleteI can't taste the ginger either, but I can taste the citrus in them. I'd add more ginger next time.

ReplyDeleteThis is so unique with all its flavors. Kind of funny, ground turkey is everywhere here but not ground chicken, rarely see it, unfortunately. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi - I think the idea of just making the meatballs pan frying them is a good one. It seems like they would be very versatile with all different sauces.
ReplyDeleteEveryone writes on their posts that the meatballs and entire soup are amazing. Nice photo. I always make a recipe the first time according to the directions and then make changes depending on what I like or don't like. I also like to shorten recipes where it's possible. Nice job.
