  2. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs.

  3. In a large non-stick Dutch oven, brown the meatballs in 1 tablespoon of butter, turning carefully every few minutes to brown all sides.

  4. Add chicken broth and simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. Add white sauce or cream of mushroom soup, stir, and heat.

  6. Serve over hot cooked egg noodles.

Safety Notes:

  • Ensure the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.

Substitutions:

  • Ground turkey: Can be replaced with ground beef or pork.

  • Breadcrumbs: Can be replaced with gluten-free breadcrumbs or panko.

  • Milk: Can be replaced with half and half or cream.

  • White sauce: Can be replaced with cream of mushroom soup or cream gravy.

Storage:

  • Cooked meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Pro Tips:

  • For a healthier version, use lean ground turkey.

  • Baking the meatballs instead of frying can reduce the amount of oil used.

  • Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more spices if desired.

Other variations include using different types of bread, adjusting the sauce, and serving with various sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables. Some recipes also include additional spices like cinnamon, cloves, or allspice for a more complex flavor profile.
