Turkey Swedish Meatballs (Phase 1)
Makes 4 servings
Description
These spiced meatballs are breadless. Though you'll find them to be moister than traditional meatballs when forming, they cook up just the same way and are just as delicious. Still, as the old advice goes, be careful not to overmix. Serve with a salad or in later Phases over whole-wheat pasta.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Start to finish: 15 minutes
Ingredients
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey breast
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup lower-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Mix together salt, allspice, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Add turkey and gently mix with hands to combine; shape into 24 (1-inch) balls.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned, about 3 minutes; lower heat to medium and cook 3 more minutes, gently shaking pan. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to a plate.
Add broth to the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
Whisk in sour cream and cook 1 minute more. Add meatballs. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
