Creamy Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Sauce
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 lb Ground turkey 🍗
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs (or almond flour for a low-carb version!) 🌾
- 1 Large egg, beaten 🥚
- ¼ cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped 🌿
- 1 tsp Garlic powder & ½ tsp Onion powder 🧄
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
The Dreamy Mushroom Sauce:
- 8 oz Fresh mushrooms, sliced (Cremini or button work great!) 🍄
- 2 tbsp Butter 🧈
- 1 cup Heavy cream or half-and-half 🥛
- ½ cup Chicken broth 🥣
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (for that secret tang!) 🍯
👩🍳 Instructions
- Form the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, half of the parsley, and seasonings. Mix gently and roll into bite-sized meatballs. 🍗🌪️📐
- The Golden Sear: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the meatballs and sear for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are beautifully browned on all sides as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🔥
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Remove the meatballs from the pan. Add butter and sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and tender. 🍄🧈🤤
- The Creamy Build: Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 3-4 minutes. 🥣☁️✨
- The Big Reunion: Place the meatballs back into the skillet. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top and let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through. 🥄🎨🥘
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley and serve warm. 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Juicy” Secret: Don’t overmix the turkey! Overworking the meat can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until combined for the tenderest results. 🍗🛡️💎
- The “Sauce” Hack: If your sauce gets too thick, add a splash more chicken broth. If you want it richer, stir in a handful of grated Parmesan cheese at the very end! 🧀🎯✨
