Swedish Turkey Meatballs

Recipe divided well. Cut all ingredients in half and substituted sour cream for the whipping cream (was out and didn't want to use half and half because I need that for my coffee). Also substituted crushed crackers for bread crumbs. It was delicious. Would definitely make again! Next time, I'll keep the full recipe for the sauce. Really wished I had more.

We thought this made a lovely dinner. Just so you know, there are two camps on Swedish meatballs---one says yes to sauce, and the other says no way! I've tried both ways, and both are delicious. The sauce here is a very good one, and the meatballs were not only easy to make but very tasty. I cut the recipe in half and got 15 meatballs using my middle cookie scoop which made them about 1 1/2" big. I'd advise others not to go overhanded on the garlic (I used a little more than called for thinking that turkey doesn't taste that much); the amount called for is spot on. I made two subs on this: chicken broth rather than beef broth and pappardelle pasta rather than egg noodles--neither one making much difference in the long run. I would definitely make these again! Thanks for the recipe!

I made these and every one couldn't get enough. I did change a couple of the ingredients only because of lack of having what it called for, I used 1/2 and 1/2 in place of the heavy cream and soy sause in place of the other sause. I also used crushed croutons in place of bread crumbs. Was amazing,, I loved the gravy!!

This was really good and I learned s new way to make a rue! We added some salt and used 2% milk instead of heavy cream-still made a delicious sauce.

Excellent! Used Italian bread crumbs in addition to using Italian seasoning. Used milk instead of cream. Used 1 lb meat, cut down meatball ingredients accordingly but made full amount gravy. Wanted plenty of gravy.

I made this for my family. It was quick easy and best of all delicious! My incredibly "yuck to all new things" boys both gave it a thumbs up. so that's a huge success!!

So easy! Quick recipe. And had all the ingredients on hand. The only thing I changed was to add salt to the gravy-which I doubled because we love our sauces! It seemed to need a little more seasoning. The meatballs were delicious with the gravy over wide egg noodles. My whole fam gobbled them up! (No pun intended.) This gravy would be delicious on rice too. Will be making again.

Great recipe for my family. I was in a pinch for time so I cheated and used frozen turkey meatballs. I started from beef broth mixture in the recipe. Still delicious!

I used a1 lb pkg of ground turkey. Still tasted great!

Great recipe. I added a dollop of sour cream at the end just to give the gravy a richer flavor.

I made it fairly close to the recipe instructions except for only adding 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and adding a little milk to some bread slices cause I didn't have bread crumbs (this makes it easier to mix into meat mixture). It got rave reviews!

This turned out very delicious. I did have to add salt and a pinch of beef flavor bouillon only because it did taste a bit bland and I wanted more flavor. I also added some red pepper flakes because I like everything SPICY!! I will definitely make again. Thank you.

Ehh. Like others said, sauce was very thin. I had to add some sour cream to give it any body, and this after boiling it. Flavor very mild. It was something different, but ehh.

I really liked this. The sauce was very good and what I expected out of Swedish meatballs. I don't think of Swedish meatball sauce as crazy flavorful, more of a comfort food. It was even better the second day. The only change I made was adding a little parsley for some color. The recipe lost a star because I found the meatballs a tad lacking something. So when I make it again I'll add some extra seasoning to zing them up. They don't need much - just a little something extra. Overall this was a keeper and a nice way to use turkey in a new way.

Everyone loved this! I followed the recipe, (only substituting a mix of sour cream and 1/2&1/2 for the heavy cream). I also added a pinch of dried dill and some parsley flakes to the sauce. Will definitely be making this again. :-)

I just made the meatballs, not the sauce. I added the cooked meatballs to a purchased alfredo sauce and served it over fettuccine. Great meatballs!

I used frozen turkey meatballs- a whole package, doubled broth, flour and butter, but kept heavy cream at 1 cup. I added the Worcestershire, too, doubled. It worked- hubby approved.

This was delicious! My hubby was so happy that I made a ‘creamy’ gravy for our meatballs. I made minor changes mainly due to wanting to use ingredients I had on hand. We will definitely be making this again. Thank you.

This was good! I used sour cream in place of heavy cream as we're trying to cut down on fat, and it was still delicious. We also used rice in stead of noodles. I baked half the meatballs in the oven at 375 for 15 minutes to be served with gravy on the side and cooked the others as indicated, and both were very tasty. Next time, I'd like to add some mushrooms.

Definitely need good sauce to go with it.

The flavor was excellent, but the texture was VERY mushy! The meatballs disintegrated and the meatballs were was like Taco Bell meat texture inside. I followed it exactly! I’ll make it again but try with more breadcrumbs and 1 more egg!

I was just looking for a turkey meatball recipe to go with marinara sauce. I like this recipe. I'll make it again, but try adding yellow onions. So play with this as a base recipe.

Just made this for dinner tonight. I had to sub a couple things, because of what I had on hand-vegetable broth instead of beef broth and 2% milk instead of cream-but I followed the recipe as close as I could. I baked the meatballs at 350 for 30 minutes instead of frying them, and added them to the sauce after it thickened. didn’t have Italian seasoning, so I used a half tablespoon each of dried oregano, basil and parsley. I also added a half tablespoon of onion powder to the sauce. We really enjoyed this! Only change I will make next time is to increase the amount of the sauce, as we ran a little short.

Excellent recipe for something different using ground turkey. Really liked the sauce and the new method of adding the flour to broth. I subbed in evaporated milk, as I usually do for the cream. Next time I will add a bit of salt to the mixture. I served it with baked sweet potatoes, which is a great match-up.

I used hamburger in place of ground turkey. I baked the meatballs in the oven at 350 degrees then followed the recipe as noted. Loved this recipe. Turned out perfect.

I used half and half and did add the Worcestershire sauce. Yum.

Excellent dish! I can't have most dairy (I know, makes me sad too!) but even with substituting it still came out delicious! I used Earth Balance instead of the butter, and a mixture of almond yogurt and oat milk instead of the cream. I did have to use about a tablespoon of corn starch in the sauce to thicken it up a bit.

Didn’t have heavy whipping cream so I used Greek yogurt. Turned out delicious. Will be making it again.

Everyone in my house loved it. I substituted almond meal for bread crumbs (to lower carbs for hubs), omitted egg because of kids egg allergy and left Worchestershire out because of a soy allergy. Still turned out AWESOME!

I made this with 3 changes. I used ground chicken and after browning the meatballs I put it all in a crockpot on high for 6 hrs. I also substituted sour cream. delicious and friendly for busy cooks.

Thank you for a great recipe! This is a family favorite.

I was looking what to do with ground turkey and and uncooked Italian sausage that I had in the freeze so I mixed them and follow this recipe. I did added well shopped onions that I cook in butter like one min. to the meat mixture and I added some salt to the sauce. Every body love it!

This recipe was a huge hit with my family, my one year old daughter especially! It’s definitely something I’ll be adding into our rotation more regularly. We typically don’t consume dairy so I made a few small changes to the recipe. In the meatballs I used vegan parm and in the sauce I opted for coconut cream. Instead of egg pasta I went with whole wheat shells. All in all, the dairy was not at all missed. In hindsight, the sauce could have used some salt, but with a young toddler, I’ve gotten used to not adding any extra sodium to our meals.

Wonderful. Served with Marinara - great alternative to beef meatballs

It was easy to make and delicious. Great for a quick dinner if you have turkey meatballs already made from the freezer.

This was good but thought it lacked flavor . I did use sour cream in place of the whipping cream. And maybe should have used finely ground parmesan, mine was coarsely ground. I will try again and add onion and maybe some mushrooms.

Easy and tasty. I added a bit of all spice to the sauce and it was great!
