Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 (about 36 small meatballs)

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the meatballs:
3 cups packed torn pumpernickel bread
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 small shallots, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
1 large egg
Cooking spray
For the gravy:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Mashed potatoes, for serving (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley and/or chives, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: Pulse the bread in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce and pulse to make a paste; set aside.
  • Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add the shallots and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the apple, garlic, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the apple is tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the breadcrumb mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool completely.
  • Add the turkey and egg to the bowl and beat with a mixer on lowspeed until well combined, about 4 minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Dampen your hands and form the meat mixture into 36 balls (about1 inch each). Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the gravy: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to make a smooth paste, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, then add the Worcestershire sauce. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the meatballs and simmer until firm and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes and top with parsley and/or chives.

Tips:

  • Choose ground turkey that is at least 90% lean. This will help to keep the meatballs moist and flavorful.
  • Add moisture to the meatballs by using grated apple, bread crumbs, and an egg. This will help to keep them from becoming dry and crumbly.
  • Season the meatballs generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to give them a delicious flavor.
  • Brown the meatballs in a pan before baking them. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce or gravy. They can also be used as an appetizer or snack.

Conclusion:

Apple and turkey meatballs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy ground turkey. They are easy to make and can be served with a variety of sauces or gravies. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, apple and turkey meatballs are sure to please everyone at the table.
