Ingredients

6 servings

For the meatballs

1 lb ground turkey
⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
Schar Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs, 8.8 oz
Glutino Bread Crumbs, Gluten Free, Original 12 Oz
Clearspring Organic Brown Rice Breadcrumbs Wholegrain
See all
1 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated (about ¼ cup)
1 large egg
2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the soup

2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
3 stalks celery, sliced ¼-inch thick
6 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only a small amount of the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced ½-inch thick
6 cups chicken broth
½ cup white rice, uncooked
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
Ingredient note
Black pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
1 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten free breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Roll into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (roughly 24 meatballs) and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
