Swedish Turkey Meatballs

Recipe #34103 | 45 min | 15 min prep | add private note

This recipe is the most requested recipe in our household. It is the result of many attempts to get the right combination of seasonings for turkey instead of hamburger meatballs that still have that Swedish meatball taste. We much prefer the taste to the original hamburger recipe.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the first ten ingredients and shape into 1 1/2" meatballs.
  2. 2
    In a large non-stick Dutch oven, brown meatballs in 1 tbsp of butter, turning carefully every few minutes to brown all sides, maintaining meatball shape.
  3. 3
    Add chicken broth and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add white sauce.
  5. 5
    (Note: I have used cream gravy or 2 cans cream soup such as mushroom or chicken to substitute for the white sauce. Both options work very well.) Stir, heat and serve over hot cooked egg noodles.

These were delicious! I made a different Swedish Meatball recipe to compare, and these were so much better! They're really hard to make into beautiful balls, but they tasted great!

    Yummy!!! I did, however, listen to my cooking instincts and ended-up using only half of the lemon pepper. The flavor was perfect to me. It was a big hit served with Cream Sauce for Swedish Meatballs Cream Sauce for Swedish Meatballs. I browned the meatballs until fully cooked in my electric skillet with butter and oil, then poured the sauce on them just before serving. Thank you for posting this recipe!

    This is an amazing dish. I had some trouble browning the meatballs until I decided to add a small amount of water to the pan. This helped them to cook and firm up and when the water had cooked away, I was able to brown the meatballs. I used chicken base mixed with water for the broth and used the equivalent of 1 can of soup with Healthy Substitute for Cream of Chicken Soup Healthy Substitute for Cream of Chicken Soup for the white sauce. I halved the recipe and now wish I had made the full recipe.

    We enjoyed these meatballs for a nice change. I used cream of celery soup instead of the white sauce, turned out very nice, the seasonings were nice but could be a little stronger. Another time I think I would add some pepper flakes to give them a little zing. Thanks for sharing.
