In medium bowl combine turkey, 1 cup onion, bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Shape mixture into 36 meatballs.

In 5-quart saucepan, over medium-high heat, saute remaining onion and garlic with celery in olive oil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until limp. Add broth, tomatoes, chick peas, green beans, sage, basil and parsley.

Increase heat and bring mixture to boil; add rotini. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Add meatballs and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is heated throughout.
