Turkey Meatball Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb ground turkey
    1/3 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
    1/2 onion, finely chopped
    1 egg
    1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
    1/2 teaspoon oregano
    8 cups water
    1 (3 2/3 g) chicken bouillon cubes
    4 large potatoes, cut into 1-2 inch chunks
    1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
    1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
    1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
    1 (15 ounce) can green beans, kitchen-cut and undrained
    1 cup baby carrots, peeled
    1 tablespoon italian seasoning
    2 bay leaves
    1 tablespoon oregano
    1 tablespoon basil
    1 tablespoon thyme
    2 tablespoons garlic, minced (I used the canned stuff for spreading on garlic bread)
    1 pinch sugar
    1 pinch sea salt
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Combine the first seven ingredients, and form into meatballs.
    Place meatballs on a roasting pan, and bake in oven for about 20-25 mins (depending on the size of the meatballs).
    Turn the oven to broil, and let the meatballs broil for about 5 minutes, or until a nice crust has formed. Remove from oven.
    Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a large soup pot, stirring to mix and to help dissolve the tomato paste.
    Cover pot and heat over low-medium heat until stew begins to bubble (about 20-30 minutes), and reduce heat.
    Add meatballs, and continue cooking for at least another 40 minutes. (You are certainly welcome to let it cook longer).
