In Austin, turkey's meat is common and easily purchased from any H.E.B. grocery stores or Central Market. Being part of the bird family, turkey is a great alternative after getting bored of having chicken almost everyday. I am glad that there are choices of ground turkey so that I do not have to grind the meat myself at home.

Everybody has a first time and this is my first attempt in putting a ground turkey dish on our dinner table.

Features and functions:
Turkey is a good source of animal protein. Under the category of white meat, naturally it is considered healthier than the dark meat or red meat due to its lower fat content. In term of nutrient value, turkey's meat provides tryptophan, an essential amino acid which helps as sleeping aid, increase brain levels of serotonin or sort of 'happy hormone'.
The ingredients
Ingredients
1/2 pound ground Turkey (Breast)
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1/4 cabbage, peeled each pieces and squared
1/2 onion, peeled and sliced
3 cups water
2 tbsp oyster flavored sauce (I used Lee Kum Kee)
1 tbsp light soy sauce (I use Kikkoman)
salt and pepper to taste

Method
1. Marinate the ground turkey with oyster sauce, light soy sauce, pepper and salt.
2. After about an hour, use 2 spoons and fold into a round shape like a ball.
I usually use 2 spoons to make into balls
3. Pour water into a medium size saucepan. Add in cabbage, carrot and onion.
Bring to a boil slowly over high-medium heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables soften about 40-60 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Simmer the vegetables first, followed by turkey balls
4. Add in the turkey's meat balls and continue to simmer for 10 minutes or until the meat is well-cooked. 
5. Season to taste with salt, pepper and soy sauce.
It is now ready..
Nourishing soup
Tips: Simmer the vegetables (onion, cabbage and carrot) sufficiently and this will make the soup tasty as the juices would go into the soup.
