This easy Turkey Swedish Meatballs recipe is a delicious but lightened-up version of traditional Swedish meatballs. Served with a tasty creamy sauce, this Swedish meatballs with ground turkey recipe is comfort food at its best!
Combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, and panko breadcrumbs.
Then add the egg, salt, pepper, and milk to the ground turkey mixture. Mix until just combined.
Roll mixture into small meatballs. Place on a small sheet pan or large plate, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
Heat the oven to 350F. Grease a large sheet pan with oil spray.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add meatballs and brown on all sides. No need to cook them through. Transfer them to the greased sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in the same skillet, melt the butter, and using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits on the skillet. Slowly add a tablespoon of flour to the melted butter and mix until well incorporated. Continue with the rest of the flour, a tablespoon at a time, until a roux is created.
Add the chicken stock, bit by bit to the roux, stirring continuously until incorporated.
Stir in the cream, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard and simmer until the sauce thickens.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and serve them with the cream sauce.
