Instructions
In a large pot, set your broth and water to boil.
Chop your cabbage and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix your turkey meat, onion, eggs and 2 tbsp. of your caraway seed.
Add the remaining caraway seeds to the broth.
Roll small (walnut size) amounts of turkey into balls and drop them gently into the boiling broth.
If using potatoes, add to pot.
Top off with cabbage, and cover. Return pot to a full boil, and reduce heat just enough to keep it from boiling over.
When the meatballs (and potatoes if using) are cooked through and the cabbage is soft, it's done. Add salt and pepper to taste.
