More Fun with Turkey…

Funny, I have a gazillion cookbooks but for some reason, I do better making up my own recipes, either out of necessity, boredom, or being inspired by something. I was planning on making the Swedish ones below, but when it came time to fix them, I lost steam and didn't feel like it. But I had thawed ground turkey. What to do? And I had Montreal Chicken Seasoning….oohhh, okay, then we have something here.  These would also be tasty as a grilled turkey burger with grilled red onion on a crusty kaiser roll. 

Turkey Meatballs & Gravy

Meatballs:
1 pound ground turkey
3 slices white bread
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon McCormick's Montreal Chicken seasoning

Gravy:
1 can low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
Cornstarch (1 tablespoon dissolved in warm water)

Mix milk and bread to make a panade.  Add seasoning; mix well with ground turkey. Form into balls. Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet.

Place meatballs in skillet. Brown well, turning frequently to cook through. When golden brown, add 1 can of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Add cornstarch slurry. Cook gravy until thickened.

Serve over noodles or rice.

Sorry, no pictures this time. BUT, I a have brand spankin' new Canon Rebel Ti2 and I just LOVE it; it's my new best friend. So next time, there will be some really cool pics of something new.
