Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Start the Meatballs

    Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before cooking, and after handling raw meat and seafood. Remove all produce from any packaging or constraints, then thoroughly rinse and pat dry.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko and 2 Tbsp. water. Rest, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add ricotta and sausage. Mix until completely combined. Form mixture into 16 equally-sized meatballs and evenly divide between both provided trays. Top each tray with 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Bake both trays uncovered in hot oven, 12 minutes.

    Meatballs will finish baking in a later step.

    While meatballs bake, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Add the Vegetables and Broth

    Drain beans.

    Carefully remove trays from oven.

    Evenly divide beans, kale, chicken base, cream base, poultry seasoning, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper between trays and gently stir to combine. Cover trays with foil.

    Wrap garlic bread in foil.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake garlic bread and both trays (garlic bread wrapped, trays covered) in hot oven until garlic bread is warm, kale is wilted, and meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven and stir to combine.

    To serve, garnish soup with Parmesan. Bon appétit!
