Spanish Turkey Meatball Stew

From #foodnetworkmagazine last year, tonight we cooked Spanish Turkey Meatball Stew.  A quick and easy recipe for a cold and rainy (now snowy) evening in NC.  Very easy to make and the meatballs were delicious. 

The soup is a simple mix of onions, roasted tomatoes, chickpeas, carrots and the meatballs (a quick fix of onion and ground turkey breast).  We were very skeptical that the meatballs would be bland, but as they cook in the savory stew they soak up all the delicious flavors. 

Less than 500 calories a serving - quick and simple - a definite hit!

Meatball prep (they are a bit sticky to prepare but worry not!)

Simmering the meatballs to cook them through -- notice we had to transfer to a larger cast iron skillet.  The recipe doesn't exactly convey how large the skillet needs to be, so go large from the start!

Dinner is ready!
