Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and fresh parsley. Mix until well combined and form into meatballs approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually add chicken broth while stirring continuously until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce; mix well. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the turkey meatballs to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Gently mix to coat them in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until cooked through and heated.
- Transfer the meatballs and sauce to a serving dish. Garnish with more chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm alongside pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
