Instructions

Make the soup: In large bowl, lightly beat egg. Add turkey, breadcrumbs, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir (or mix with hands) until just combined. Do not over mix. Using hands, gently form into small (slightly smaller than a golf ball) meatballs and place on large plate or baking pan.

In large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots; cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Stir in broth; heat to boiling. Stir in tomatoes, zucchini and green beans. Gently drop in meatballs. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165º F.

Meanwhile, make crostini: Heat broiler to high heat. Place baguette slices on rimmed baking pan and lightly brush with oil. Place under broiler and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp, watching very carefully. Spread crostini with Ricotta and sprinkle with mozzarella and pepper. Return to broiler and cook 1 minute or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve soup with crostini.
