For a richer flavor, brown the meatballs in the Dutch oven before adding the vegetables. This will create a delicious fond that adds depth to the stew. Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preferences and what you have on hand. Zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach would be excellent additions. To make this stew ahead of time, prepare it through step 4 and refrigerate. Add the meatballs in step 5 just before serving. The flavors will meld together beautifully overnight. If you don’t have a wire rack, you can bake the meatballs directly on the foil-lined baking sheet. Just be sure to turn them halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

01
Step
0 mins
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray, set on prepared baking sheet, and set aside.
02
Step
0 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking rack.
03
Step
12 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, approximately 12 minutes.
04
Step
30 mins
While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, potatoes, carrots, peas, basil, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes and carrots are tender and the broth has slightly thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.
05
Step
7 mins
Gently stir in the baked meatballs and simmer until they are heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season the stew with additional salt and pepper to taste.
