Combine water, scallions, and green pepper, carrots, tomatoes, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper in large kettle. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
While you're simmering, combine turkey, rice, 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, paprika, and savory. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Form into 1 inch meatballs, then roll in flour.
After 30 minutes add meatballs to soup, cover, bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Add chilies, cover, and simmer 40 minutes or until rice in meatballs is cooked. Add parsley during last 5 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Beat eggs with lemon juice. Add a little hot liquid to egg mixture, then slowly stir into soup.
Serve immediately in warm soup bowls with red pepper flakes and Parmesan on the side. Great with a good chunk of French bread and a salad.
I have never cooked anything of Dinah's that wasn't wonderful. She was a fabulous cook and a super nice lady. I miss her.
Serves 6.
