Spicy Turkey Meatball Stew

Here is the last installment of the Turkey meatball adventure. 

The original recipe called for the lamb meatballs to be served with jarred sauce on a sandwich.  I was looking for more of a one pot meal, so I added a bunch of chopped sautéed vegetables and some spice and preserved lemon in the sauce.  This was a nice change up from the earlier versions to avoid the dreaded comments on leftovers or worse   . . .   not this again!
