- In the meantime, you can cook the sausage meatballs in a fry pan (I used my micro's sensor cook) until just done, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth to the vegetable mixture in the dutch oven and stir well.
- Add in the turkey and the drained meatballs.

- Fifteen minutes before you plan to serve, add the shrimp, allow less cooking time if they are already cooked.
- Serve with rice, if desired.
