Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 2

Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set aside on a plate or tray.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Return the meatballs to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes to meld flavors.

Step 8

Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, drizzling the gravy generously over the meatballs.
