I came up with this Swedish Turkey meatball recipe and it turned out fabulous!! Instead of using cream, I used whole milk. I added a few different kinds of spices into the ground turkey mixture. Oh and I used ground turkey instead of beef. I decided that I LOVE the taste of ground turkey. Not only it is a healthier choice, but also juicy and flavorful. If you are a meatball lover, you should definitely try this dish!!
Swedish Turkey Meatball
Ingredients:
-Meat Mixture-
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup oats
1 tsp kosher salt
2 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
-Meatball Gravy-
3 tbsp salted butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups beef broth
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (mixed well)
Direction:
In a mixing bowl, mix all the meatball mixture ingredients together. (I used my kitchen aid to mix these - on speed 4 for about 2 minutes until all the ingredients were well mixed)
Form round balls with the mixture - makes about 20-25 meatballs.
In a large skillet, cook the meatballs on medium high heat until they are brown. (You can either finish cooking the meatballs on the skillet or in the oven. When the meatballs turned brown on the outside, I removed them from the heat and placed them on a baking sheet and baked them in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes so the meatballs don't burn. But you can definitely finish cooking them on stove.)
In the same skillet that you cooked the meatballs, melt butter on low heat. Then add flour and whisk until the flour is light brown. Add beef broth gradually, whisking frequently. When the liquid thickens, add milk. Whisking frequently, add cornstarch mixture to the gravy. Whisk until the mixture thickens to your liking. Mix in with the meatballs and serve.
Note: This meatballs were amazing with Couscous
