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. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  6. 6

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