Escarole Soup with Turkey Meatballs

I tried this Skinnytaste version of Italian Wedding Soup last night and have decided that I like my mom's version of Italian Wedding Soup a lot better.  However, there are a few tips that I can take from this recipe to apply to my mom's recipe.

Recipe
Escarole Soup with Turkey Meatballs

Comments
 - I used Kitchen Basics brand chicken broth (yellow carton) but I really prefer the taste of Pacific chicken broth
 - Using a tablespoon as a scoop for the meatballs worked really well, so I'll use this tip again in the future with other meatball recipes
 - The ground turkey breast is low in fat but doesn't have a lot of flavor, so next time I would either use 96% lean ground beef or 93% lean ground turkey
 - Dropping the raw meatballs right into the boiling broth was another great tip from this recipe (and saves having to wash a cookie sheet)
 - I used fresh baby spinach instead of escarole
