Turkey Meatball Soup

This was a great soup to enjoy in this cold weather we've been having. I made extra meatballs so I have them for another nights dinner. I try and save time by making extra when I can so on days I'm working dinner is quick and easy to put together.

Meatballs:

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 lb turkey sausage (remove casings)
• 2/3 cup bread crumbs (you may need more if your mixture isn't forming meatballs easily)
• minced garlic (2-4 cloves depending on your taste preferences)
• 3 tbsp parsley
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan

• salt and pepper to taste

Soup:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
