Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Mince garlic, dice tomato, and chop onion (3/4 cup worth). Peel, seed, and cut 8 ounces of hubbard squash (or other winter squash) into 3/4 inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Combine turkey, egg whites, bread crumbs, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Shape turkey mixture into 36 meatballs.
  • Place meatballs in lightly greased baking pan and bake 15-20 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in the center. Drain on paper towels. (Reserve 18 meatballs for another day in an air tight container in the refrigerator.)
  • Spray large saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Cook and stir onion, squash and remaining 2 minced garlic cloves about 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add remaining 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning and cook 1 minute.
  • Add chicken broth (3, 14.5 ounce cans), beans, tomatoes and peas; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered, 5 minutes.
  • Add pasta and simmer, uncovered about 10 minutes or until pasta is tender. Add meatballs during last 5 minutes of cooking time. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with parsley.
