Swedish-Style Turkey Meatballs
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and the garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool briefly, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine the onion mixture, ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1½ teaspoons parsley, allspice, and nutmeg; mix well. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs; place them in the prepared baking dish.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Combine beef broth and flour in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; seal and shake vigorously until the flour dissolves. Pour the broth slurry into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1½ teaspoons parsley, black pepper, and salt; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low; stir in the sour cream.

  6. 6

    Add the meatballs to the sauce; cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors blend, 10 to 15 minutes.
