My family loves these Swedish meatballs. They are so tender and flavorful and much lighter than traditional recipes out there. And, let’s not forget the sauce! The creamy sauce really makes the dish.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 celery stalk, minced
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/2 pound 93% lean ground turkey
1/2 pound 95% lean ground beef
1 large egg
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs or gluten-free crumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 cups reduced sodium beef broth
3 ounces reduced fat cream cheese
chopped parsley, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add celery and parsley and cook until soft, about 3-4 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine beef, turkey, egg, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, ¼ teaspoon salt, pepper and allspice. Mix well and form into 16 meatballs.
Add beef stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly drop meatballs into the broth. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, until cooked through.
Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set aside in a serving dish. Strain the broth, transfer to a blender with cream cheese and blend until smooth. Return to the skillet with the meatballs and simmer
