TURKEY SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 36 Meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan
½ cup minced white onion
1 pound ground turkey or chicken
3 slices fresh white bread, crusts cut off and chopped small
1 large egg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Serving suggestions: lingonberry jam or egg noodles

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened but not brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and let cool.
  • Add the turkey, bread, egg, 1½ teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, allspice and nutmeg to the onions and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes sticky, about 2 minutes. With clean, damp hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon) and place on the prepared baking sheet; clean and dampen hands as needed to prevent the mixture from sticking. Bake until the bottoms are slightly brown and the meatballs are firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to make a paste. Add the chicken broth and continue whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking occasionally, then reduce the heat to maintain a rapid simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cream, Worcestershire and half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve with lingonberry jam as hors d'oeuvres or over egg noodles as a main course.

SWEDISH TURKEY MEATBALLS

This recipe is the most requested recipe in our household. It is the result of many attempts to get the right combination of seasonings for turkey instead of hamburger meatballs that still have that Swedish meatball taste. We much prefer the taste to the original hamburger recipe.

JUST PERFECT TURKEY SWEDISH MEATBALLS



Just Perfect Turkey Swedish Meatballs image

These meatballs are some of the best I ever had. They have a light texture, a delicate balance of spices, and a nice creamy sauce. The recipe, with just one small change, comes from a package of Just Perfect seasoned ground turkey. Note that there is not much sauce, so if you want a lot of sauce, you might want to double the liquids and the flour. These meatballs are good over noodles or rice.
