YIELD: Serves 6 to 8 | PREP TIME: 10 minutes | COOK TIME: 25 minutes to 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium shallot
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
- take 1 pound of ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

- take 2 cups of beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

INSTRUCTIONS
-
Grate 1 medium shallot. Coarsely chop 1 tablespoon of parsley leaves.
-
Place 1 pound ground turkey, 1 large egg, 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and grated shallot in a large bowl. Use your hands to gently work everything together into a homogenous mixture. Scoop the meatballs into 2 tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the meatballs and cook, turning every 1 to 2 minutes, until browned on a few sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
-
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the oil and cook until the flour is no longer dry about 1 minute. Whisk in 2 cups beef broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon onion powder, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth. Cook until just beginning to simmer, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the meatballs to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley leaves and serve over cooked egg noodles, if desired.
