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!

SWEDISH TURKEY MEATBALLS



Swedish Turkey Meatballs image

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.

Categories     Poultry

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs ground turkey (7% lean)
1 egg
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon onion flakes
2 cans chicken broth
2 -3 cups home made white sauce
hot cooked egg noodles

Steps:

  • Combine the first ten ingredients and shape into 1 1/2" meatballs.
  • In a large non-stick Dutch oven, brown meatballs in 1 tbsp of butter, turning carefully every few minutes to brown all sides, maintaining meatball shape.
  • Add chicken broth and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add white sauce.
  • (Note: I have used cream gravy or 2 cans cream soup such as mushroom or chicken to substitute for the white sauce. Both options work very well.) Stir, heat and serve over hot cooked egg noodles.

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

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.

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.
