Ingredients:

Serving

1 onion, chopped fine
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb escarole (about 1/2 head), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips, washed well, and spun dry (about 6 cups packed)
3 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup orzo (rice-shaped pasta) or other small pasta
1/4 lb ground turkey
3 tbsp fine fresh bread crumbs
1 large egg yolk
1 scallion, minced
1 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Make soup: In a large heavy saucepan cook onion and rosemary in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add escarole, stirring to coat with oil, and cook, covered, 1 minute. Add broth and orzo and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
Make meatballs while soup simmers: In a bowl combine well all meatball ingredients except oil and season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. In a heavy 9-inch skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown meatballs about 3 minutes (meatballs will not be cooked through).
Add meatballs to soup and simmer, partially covered, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
