ESCAROLE AND ORZO SOUP WITH TURKEY PARMESAN MEATBALLS
Steps:
- Whisk egg and 2 tablespoons water in medium bowl to blend. Mix in breadcrumbs; let stand 5 minutes. Add turkey, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; gently stir to blend. Using wet hands, shape turkey mixture into 1 1/4-inch-diameter meatballs. Place on baking sheet; cover and chill 30 minutes.
- Bring 8 cups chicken broth to boil in large pot. Add carrots and orzo; reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered 8 minutes. Add turkey meatballs and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in chopped escarole and simmer until turkey meatballs, orzo, and escarole are tender, about 5 minutes longer. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Rewarm over medium heat, thinning with more broth if desired.)
- Ladle soup into bowls and serve.
TURKEY SOUP WITH ORZO AND WHITE BEANS
Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until translucent. Add turkey wings, chicken broth and oregano. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat 1 hour.
- Using tongs, transfer wings to work surface; cool. Remove meat from bones; discard skin and bones. Mix meat into soup. Bring to simmer. Add tomatoes with juices, carrots and celery. Cover; simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool soup slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover. Keep chilled. Bring to simmer before continuing.) Add orzo; simmer, covered, until pasta is tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Mix in cannellini and basil; cook until heated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, and spinach.
- Don't overcook the orzo. Orzo is a small pasta, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it mushy.
- Use a good quality turkey stock. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought stock.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot. Turkey orzo soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Turkey orzo soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give turkey orzo soup a try.
