Turkey & Corn Tortellini Soup - Freezer Meal



Recipe: Unknown

Instead of cooked, diced turkey, I made turkey meatballs.

1 lb. turkey
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 eggs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Mix together and shape into meatballs.

1 8 oz. pkg fresh cheese tortellini
1 cup turkey, cooked & diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 can low sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 tsp black ground pepper
2 tbsp green onion

In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil along with the garlic. Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions. Lower temperature to medium-high. Add chicken broth and stir. Add corn and stir. Bring to a boil again and boil for 2-3 mins. Add chicken and cook for 1 more minute, stirring well. Add green onions and pepper, stir well. Allow to cool to room temperature, then divide into equal portions in containers. Freeze.

To Serve: Thaw overnight in refrigerator, or defrost in microwave. Pour contents of container into a saucepan and heat over medium high heat until heated through. Sprinkle with more fresh ground pepper or parmesan cheese right before serving.
