I came up with this Swedish meatballs recipe as a way to lighten up the original dish. Nobody in my family even realized they were eating turkey! Serve over egg noodles if desired.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 cups minced onion
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 0.5 cups dry bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
-
2
Make meatballs: Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool briefly, about 5 minutes.
-
3
Combine onion mixture, ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, allspice, and nutmeg in a large bowl; mix well to combine. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

4
Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

5
Make sauce: Combine beef broth and flour in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal and shake vigorously until flour is dissolved. Pour broth mixture into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Worcestershire sauce, parsley, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in sour cream.

Add meatballs to sauce; cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes.

When it comes to presenting dessert to guests, there is nothing like a jaw-dropping, multi-layered parfait. And this low-fat version of the classic, with apple sauce, coconut yogurt, maca powder, and lots of other whole ingredients, is a winner! I am slightly obsessed with coconut yogurt and with making my own carob nutella… so towering these 2 ingredients in a delicious parfait enriched with a hint of Austrian apple strudel was a temptation I couldn't resist.
