Italian Turkey Meatball Noodle Soup

You’ve checked the weather, right? You’ve seen the forecast? You know what’s coming? You’ve looked?

Luckily, we have this soup. And it is downright problematic. First of all, I cooked the turkey meatballs in an air fryer, and it’s a GAME changer. They cook and brown up so perfectly. Barely did a thing.

Secondly, they’re super savory with herbs, garlic, parmesan and panko – you’ll feel a sob approaching.

Thirdly, the soup itself oozes with nostalgia. Carrots and onion, chicken stock and egg noodles. Nuttin’ wrong with it.

You’ll get your meatballs loaded with everything I said PLUS a bit of dried Italian seasoning.

See? Problematic.

Into an air fryer for about 15 minutes while you cook the soup. Time saver, this one!

And look at that color.

(You SEE the weather, right?)

This is the thing – KC was clear of it until this morning. Now it looks like we’re in the very top of the storm path. Not much snow, which I’m fine with. But I’m thinking about the rest of the country because it’s going to get wild.

Bring your firewood in now!

And then daydream about this soup you’ll make. Rich and savory, comforting and warm, nutritious and delicious. It tastes like 1994 but with a dash of 2026. Already can’t wait for your life.

Go get the ingredients today! But I’m not bossy about it or anything.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1/2 cup panko
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 Tbs. dried Italian seasoning
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 3 cloves grated garlic
• 1 egg
• Pinch of coarse salt
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 8 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 pound wide egg noodles
• Extra parsley for garnish
• 1 lemon, for spritzing

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko, parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, the egg and a pinch of salt. Mix with your hands and form 1-2 inch meatballs. I got 14 in total.
2. Preheat your air fryer at 400. Place the meatballs on the rack and cook at 385 for 6 minutes. Shake the pan and go another 6 minutes. Check them for some good browning. Go another two or so to get them just right.
3. In the meantime, bring a couple of Tbs. olive oil to a medium-high heat in a dutch oven. Add the carrots and onions, and sauté about 6 minutes, until they start to soften and take on some color. Season with a pinch of salt.
4. Once the veggies are tender, add the stock and egg noodles. Cook until al dente, then add the turkey meatballs to the pot. Let simmer for two minutes, and you’re set.
5. Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra parsley! Spritz of lemon is great, too.
6. Serves 6.
