White Bean and Escarole Soup with Turkey Meatballs

Ground turkey is often a combination of white and dark meat. For this soup, ask the butcher for only the dark meat. It is a little higher in fat, but turkey is relatively lean compared to other poultry and meat, and the dark meat is more flavorful and higher in iron. Serve this soup with a loaf of warm, crusty artisan bread.
