Ingredients

6 servings

For the meatballs

1 lb ground turkey
⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
El Mexicano Pan Molido Bread Crumbs Aiva Products Bread Crumbs
See all
1 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated (about ¼ cup)
1 large egg
2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

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
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced ½-inch thick
6 cups chicken broth
½ cup white rice, uncooked
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste

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.
