Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey or beef
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup parmesan
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup small pasta
• 4 cups spinach

Amounts are scaled from the original 6 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.

Steps

1. Mix the meat, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan and salt and roll into small 3/4-inch balls.
2. Bring the broth to a simmer, drop in the meatballs and simmer 10 minutes.
3. Add the pasta and cook 8 minutes until tender and the meatballs reach 165°F.
4. Stir in the spinach until wilted.

Swaps

• Out of breadcrumbs? Crush crackers or toast and pulse stale bread, or use rolled oats.
• Water plus a bouillon cube or a spoon of soy sauce can replace broth.
• Kale, chard or frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed) all work instead of fresh spinach.

Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
