Swedish Meatballs - Dee Dee's image

They are seasoned with white pepper or allspice and salt. We enjoyed an early afternoon lunch compliments of Elton Brown's 2005...

The meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

I found that the meatballs were a bit dry. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of breadcrumb or by adding some milk or broth to the mixture.

These meatballs are a great make-ahead meal. I made them on the weekend and then reheated them during the week for a quick and easy dinner.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It makes the meatballs much healthier without sacrificing any flavor.
