Instructions
Heat oil in a large stockpot set to medium-high heat.
Add leeks, carrots, and celery to stockpot, and sauté vegetables until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add broth and Mrs. Dash seasoning, and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the turkey, oregano, garlic powder, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, and Worcestershire sauce.
Using damp hands, form meat into cute little meatballs that are no larger than 1 tablespoon each. (Keep in mind that the smaller they are, the easier they are to eat. Don't be afraid to make them little.)
Carefully drop the meatballs into the broth and cook 5 minutes.
Add in pasta and kale, and cook an additional 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
