Let’s close the Soup/Stew Week with one of my crazy recipes, including some of my unusual ingredients to cut corners. Is about time to give turkey another chance after thanksgiving. Ground turkey is so healthy. This pack was 99% fat free, and the meatballs cooked fast. I replaced animal fat with extra virgin olive oil; is healthier and tastes much better. Let’s start cooking!
 
Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: 30 Minutes
Approximate Cost: $7.14 or $1.79 per serving
Difficulty Level:    X    Easy ____ Intermediate ____ Advanced
Servings: 4
 
Ingredients
½ lb. ground turkey breast (@$3.99/lb.) = $1.99
¼ cup Parmesan cheese (.75)
2 tbsp. Dried Minced Onions (.50)
1 tbsp. Chimichurri flakes (or any dried herb you may have in the pantry) (.30)
1 ½ tbsp. Goya EVOO (1/2 to add to the meatballs and 1 to sauté them into) (.40)
2 cups of my chicken stock** (.80)
1 ½ cup of frozen diced Hash Brown potatoes (.90)
1 ½ cups parboiled rice ($1.00)
2 Sazón envelopes (1 for the meatballs and 1 for the yellow rice) (.50)
Salt & pepper to taste
 
** Remember, my stock is pack of flavor but no salt added to compete with your ingredients.
 
 
Directions
  1. Season the ground turkey with Parmesan cheese, dried onions, olive oil, Sazón, chimichurri flakes (or any other dried herb you may have in the pantry such as parsley, rosemary, etc.)
  2. In a med-high skillet with olive oil, sear the meatballs, remove, set aside covered. (Or just add the other ingredients and cook it all together. The meatballs may not be 100% tender, but they will be just fine.)
  3. Add the frozen diced Hash Brown potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken stock, stir and taste to adjust need for better salty flavor.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.
  6. Meantime, cook the rice according to package directions; however, instead of salt add 1 Sazón envelope. It will be ready in 15 minutes.
  7. When ready to plate, add the meatballs to the soup to warm them for a couple of minutes before serving the meal.
 
Enjoy!
