Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean ground turkey
- 1 Egg white
- 60 g Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 30 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 480 ml Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg white, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated but do not overmix.
Using clean hands, form the mixture into 16 small meatballs, about 1½ inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the flour to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth to the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Remove from heat.
Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to the skillet with the gravy. Gently stir to coat the meatballs evenly.
Sprinkle the meatballs with chopped parsley before serving and enjoy your low-fat classic meatballs with gravy!
