Ingredients

For the meatballs

1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (Can substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs)
3 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 large egg (beaten)
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tbsp fresh minced parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the soup

cooking spray
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrot
3 cloves minced garlic
1 can diced San Marzano tomatoes (28 ounces, I used Tuttorosso)
4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
4 basil leaves (plus optional more for garnish)
2 bay leaves
5 ounces ditalini pasta (1 cup* (wheat or gluten-free))
1 cup zucchini (diced small)
Parmesan rind (optional)
Grated parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Instructions

In a medium bowl combine turkey, breadcrumbs, pecorino, egg, garlic, parsley and salt and gently mix to combine.
Form into 30 meatballs, about 1 heaping tablespoon each.
Press saute in the Instant Pot and spray with oil.
Brown the meatballs in 2 to 3 batches, spraying each time. Set aside on a dish and clean the pot.
Heat the oil and add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic, cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, Parmesan rind, basil, bay leaves and stir, return the meatballs to the pot.
Add the chicken broth, cover and cook high pressure 15 minutes.
Quick release and open the lid, add the pasta and zucchini and cook 4 minute more, quick release so the pasta doesn’t overcook.
Serve with grated cheese if desired and basil.
