Spaghetti and Meatball Soup

If you need back to school dinner ideas, what can be more kid friendly than a bowl of Spaghetti and Meatball Soup made with turkey meatballs cooked in a light tomato broth!

This Spaghetti and Meatball Soup recipe is from the archives and has been greatly overlooked. I finally got a chance to rephotograph it, which I have wanted to do for a while. Lean turkey meatballs cook in a light tomato broth with cut-up spaghetti.

pinch crushed red pepper flakes optional

kosher salt and fresh pepper

6 oz dry cut up spaghetti

For the meatballs:

16 oz 93% lean ground turkey or 99% lean

1 large egg
