Recipe of the Week 1/9: Swedish Meatballs
Yields 16 meatballs
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
Directions:
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 broth 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
