Swedish Meatballs

Most swedish meatball recipes usually contain fatty beef and lots of sour cream. This recipe is heartburn-safe because turkey is substituted for the beef and fat-free sour cream is used.

The first part of the ingredients is for the meatballs (mb) and the second part of the ingredients is for the sauce (sa).

(mb) 1 cup plain bread crumbs(mb) 2 egg whites(mb) 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg(mb) 1/2 ground allspice(mb) 1 teaspoon salt(mb) 2 pounds chilled ground turkey breast meat--------------------(sa) 2 tablespoons olive oil(sa) 3 tablespoons cornstarch(sa) 1/2 cup water(sa) 3 cups beef broth(sa) 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce(sa) 1 tablespoon fat-free sour cream(sa) Pinch of saltPreheat oven to 350 degrees F. To make meatballs, combine bread crumbs, egg whites, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and turkey in a large bowl. Mix with your hands. With wet hands, form turkey mixture into 1-inch balls. Chill turkey balls in refrigerator until ready to use. Pour olive oil in a large nonstick skillet and heat over a medium-high heat until hot. Place turkey balls into the skillet and brown until browned on all sides. Place turkey balls into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. As turkey balls are baking, prepare sauce. In a small bowl combine constarch and water, stirring until smooth. Set aside. Combine Worcestershire and beef broth in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken.
