SWEDISH TURKEY MEATBALLS



Swedish Turkey Meatballs image

I've tried a few different Swedish Meatballs recipes and also the sauce packets they sell at the stores but I've never been happy with the results. One night I really wanted to make Swedish Meatballs, and after looking on multiple websites for recipes, I finally gave up and made up my own. It turned out delicious!

TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY



Turkey Meatballs With Mushroom Gravy image

This is a yummy, easy and healthy recipe born out of the need for something flavorful but within my "cleanse" diet guidelines. Though I used the 85/15 ground turkey, you can use the leaner, and save some fat calories. The mushroom gravy sits great on top of the meatballs which you can serve over brown rice, (how I ate it) or over egg noodles, (how my husband ate it). I think this would be a real treat with portabella mushrooms for the gravy, but didn't have them on hand. Hope you enjoy it!
