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.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust on the meatballs, pan-fry them over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs. Just toast them in a pan with some butter until they're golden brown and crispy.
  • To make the meatballs even more flavorful, add some grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs to the meatball mixture.
  • Be sure to cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. You want them to be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Serve the Swedish turkey meatballs with a side of lingonberry jam and mashed potatoes for a traditional Swedish meal.

Conclusion:

These Swedish turkey meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They're also a great way to use up leftover turkey. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the egg noodles are the perfect accompaniment. Serve them with a side of lingonberry jam and mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
