4 servings
For the meatballs
- 1 lb ground turkey
Chef's tipBrown it just like ground meat, using the same amount. It's leaner than turkey, so add a little oil to the pan to keep it from sticking. - 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
For the soup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into ½-inch half-moons
- 6 cups bone broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. It won't give the body or richness of bone broth, so it's best where broth is mainly a cooking liquid or flavor base. - 1 tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, arrowroot starch, turmeric, grated ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and parsley. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls (about 20 meatballs) and arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
