Ravioli Primavera and Meatballs

I started with the Tortellini Primavera recipe on Eating Well but changed it up a bit.

Step 1:
Turkey Meatballs:
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
Italian Bread Crumbs
1 egg
1/2 cup parm cheese
Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 400
Mix everything together and form little meatballs and place on baking pan. You don't want them to be too big, I think I got about 24. Bake for about 30 mins or until done.

Step 2:
14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup Parmesan cheese (I used the one that has the Asiago mixed in)
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
16-ounce bag frozen mixed vegetables
2 bags frozen Ravioli

While meatballs are baking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. When boiling, add Ravioli and veggies. Boil 10 minutes then drain.

Meanwhile, whisk broth and flour together in a bowl. Pour EVOO in pan and let garlic simmer about 2 minutes. Add broth/flour mix and bring to boil. Let simmer until it thickens up a bit, stirring occasionally. Mix in cheese and tarragon, stirring until cheese is melted.

Drain Ravioli and put back in pot, add cheese mixture and meatballs. Mix together and serve.
