Asian Broth with Mini Turkey Meatballs
By Debra. Filed in Uncategorized |
Upon coming across this recipe on my recipe swap and noticing that it came from Eating Well.com, I immediately dismissed it (”yeh – like that’s going to have a lot of flavor”). But upon seeing that a good friend posted the recipe *and* that she raved about it gave me pause. After reading the ingredients…and then immediately thinking of how I can tinker with it…I decided to give it a try. And I am so glad that I did. Because it is delicious! FULL of flavor. So much so that I have already made it several times this month. (I had a miserable sinus infection and flu and this was far better than any other medicine I consumed!)
