Turkey Meatball Stew
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lightly coat a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray, set it on the prepared baking sheet, and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop, form 1-inch balls and arrange them on the baking rack.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until the centers are no longer pink, about 12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, potatoes, carrots, peas, basil, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the broth has reduced somewhat, 20 to 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the meatballs and simmer until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Season the stew with salt and pepper.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
