Swedish Turkey Meat Balls Wzucchini Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 1. If you make the meat balls average size which would be about half the size I made that would give you less calories per meat Balls. So keep that in mind if you are watching calories.
• 2. Process Bread crumbs in food processor, and set aside till needed. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES F.
• 3. Grate zucchini and leave till needed. Zucchini not only is healthy for you, but they add moisture to the meat Balls. With the onions and Zucchini, I DID NOT ADD ANY OTHER LIQUID to the meat ball and they were very moist & tasty.
• 4. Add the ground turkey to a large bowl, then add the bread crumbs, spices, zucchini, beaten egg and finely chopped onions.
• 5. Mix together in bowl and shape into desired size meat balls. These meat Balls average 147 calories each, with 13 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fat, 11 protein, 343 Mg of sodium, 4 grams of sugar, & 2 grams of fiber per meat Ball. I used MY FITNESS PAL TO CALCULATE THE CALORIES.
• 6. These are what the bread crumbs looked like after processing.Spray a shallow baking pan with non stick cooking spray, and add meat balls, leaving space between each till you are finished. I forgot to take a picture.
• 7. Place in preheated 400 degree F. oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes until meat balls are done.
• 8. To make the gravy, melt the butter in a large skillet, over medium high heat, add the flour and stir till blended and it forms a paste. Add the beef stock, and blend with a small whisk to prevent lumps. Combine the yogurt and half & half in a separate small bowl, and whisk till blended together, then add to gravy. Season with steak seasoning, add more according to taste if needed. Now add meat balls and simmer over very low heat, for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking to bottom of skillet. Serve over pasta or rice and garnish with chopped fresh chive if desired. A separate Recipe showing how to make the gravy has already been posted showing picture steps. So look for it. Enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool briefly, about 5 minutes.
• Combine onion mixture, turkey, bread crumbs, egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoon parsley, allspice, and nutmeg in a large bowl; mix well to combine. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Transfer to baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Pour beef broth into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add flour; seal and shake vigorously until flour is dissolved.
• Pour beef broth mixture into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoon parsley, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in sour cream and meatballs. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.;
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions until soft and translucent. Set onions aside to cool and wipe skillet clean. In a large mixing bowl combine the cooled onions with remaining meatball ingredients. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Heat remaining oil in skillet over high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.;
• For the pan sauce:
• Set meatballs aside. Add the butter and mushrooms to the pan and saute until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the sherry and chicken stock, to deglaze the pan. Sprinkle in the instant flour and cook until sauce thickens. Add the half-and-half, Worcestershire and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, whisking often until thickened. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat, add meatballs back to the pan. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Serve meatballs with preserves.;
