Ingredients
- 900g (32 oz) lean ground turkey or beef, raw
- 160g Panko breadcrumbs
- 960ml beef broth
- 30g (-4 tbsp) corn starch
- 60ml (4 tbsp) water
- 1-2 tsp of the following spices (to taste): salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg
- ½ tsp clove (ground or whole)
Directions
1. In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, and spices. Mix together thoroughly to make sure the turkey meat gets all the
seasonings.
2. Using an ice cream scoop, portion out the meatball mixture as desired. Form the balls in your hands by rolling them back and forth. Place them on a baking sheet tray that has been coated with cooking spray.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the meatballs in the oven for 20 minutes or until they are cooked all the way through or have an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. Remove them from the oven and set aside to rest.
4. In a skillet, add the beef broth and heat over high heat. While the broth is heating up, mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl.
5. Once the beef broth is boiling, add the cornstarch/water mixture and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and add the meatballs.
7. Once the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are covered in the gravy, transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with toothpicks so you can eat one at a time. These are GREAT to bring to a party. Enjoy!
