Turkey Swedish Meatballs
Light and delicious turkey meatballs nestled in a savory gravy are ideal for topping your favorite rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce divided
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool before adding to the meatball mixture.
- In a bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, allspice, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and the cooled onion and garlic. Gently mix until just combined and form into 1-inch balls.
- Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 13-18 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Add the remaining Worcestershire sauce and the Dijon mustard. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes to blend the flavors. Serve hot, garnished with parsley. Enjoy over egg noodles or with mashed potatoes.
