The Last of My Cabbage

There is no real story behind this soup. I was craving turkey meatballs and needed to use up my cabbage. The picture doesn't look very appetizing, but this soup is bursting with flavor!
Turkey and Cabbage Soup:
1lb lean ground turkey
1 inch cube of ginger, minced
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp fish sauce
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 gloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped plus more for garnishing
1 cup onion, minced
1/2 head of lettuce, cut into strips
1 cup dry white wine
6 cups chicken stock
2 inch cubes of ginger, minced
1 scallion, chopped
Sriracha, to taste

-In a large bowl, combine the turkey, ginger, sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic and cilantro. Form into golf ball sized balls and sear in a skillet until brown on all sides. Set aside.

-In a stockpot, heat onion and cabbage with a little olive oil for 5 minutes. Deglaze pan with white wine. Add chicken stock and ginger and simmer for 10 minutes. Add meatballs and sriracha and simmer for another 10 minutes. Taste, and if the soup needs more seasoning, add a sprinkling of fish sauce, soy, or sesame oil (I added all 3). Garnish with scallion and cilantro and serve!
