Instructions
- In a large pot, bring three quarts of water and the lentils to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, garlic, half of the diced onion, salt, and pepper. Work the meat with your hands until the ingredients are well-combined.
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, portion and roll out equal-sized meatballs.
- Preheat a skillet with a few tablespoons of light olive oil. Place the meatballs in the skillet and brown them on all sides. Remove the meatballs and set the skillet aside.
- In the same skillet as you cooked the meatballs, sauté the other half of the diced onion with the diced scallions until the onions are softened and transluscent.
- Add the canned diced tomatoes to the skillet, allowing the mixture to come together for a couple of minutes. Add the tomato mixture into the pot with the lentils. Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes.
- Using a standard blender or immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy. Place it back into the pot and add in the meatballs.
- Let the soup simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
