Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, Parmesan, and bread crumbs. Roll into small meatballs and set aside on a plate.
In a large soup pot, heat the broth on medium high heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add meatballs to the pot. Let them simmer for 5 minutes then add spinach and stir well.
Cook the broth for another 10 minutes then add tortellini to the pot. Reduce heat so that soup is brought to a simmer. Cook for about 5 more minutes or until tortellini are tender and meatballs are cooked through. Add a cup or two of water if necessary depending how thick you like the soup.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in bowls.
