Instructions
Making Turkey Meatballs
- Cut bread slices into large pieces. Pulse them in a blender or food processor to make them into crumbs.
- In a large mixing bowl combine ground turkey, fresh bread crumbs, onion, parsley, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.
- Roughly divide the mixture into 20 parts and form them into small meatballs (see helpful tips or notes).
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Place meatballs keeping some distance in between
- Cover the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the meatballs, cover and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Once done take them out
Making Gravy
- In the same pan add garlic, onion, and mushrooms. Cook them for 3-4 minutes. Add more oil if necessary.
- Then add flour and cook the mixture for another 1-2 minutes.
- Now slowly add chicken stock. Simultaneously mix continuously using a whisk.
- Bring mixture to boil. Cover and cook the gravy on low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Finally add meatballs, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well, cover and cook for about one minute.
- Take it out from the heat and keep covered until serving.
Notes
- You can also use all-purpose flour for making gravy instead of whole wheat flour
- If you are using a non-stick frying pan or skillet then make sure to use silicone whisk to prevent scratching.
- Use metal cookie scoop or meatball maker to divide the ground turkey mixture and make uniform sized meatballs
