  • Skillet
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

For the Meatballs

  • 1 pound Ground Turkey A lean protein that keeps the dish healthier and moist.
  • 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs Helps bind the meatballs while adding a tender texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Sage This aromatic herb brings a wonderful depth to the flavor.
  • 1 medium Onion Offers a touch of sweetness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Infuses the meatballs with rich flavor.

For the Gravy

  • 2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth Serves as a flavorful base for the gravy.
  • 0.5 cup Heavy Cream Creates that luscious, creamy texture in the gravy.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for browning the meatballs.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped sage. Mix well for 3-5 minutes.
  • Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add meatballs in batches, and brown them for 5-7 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Remove meatballs, then sauté chopped onion and garlic in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream, allowing the mixture to thicken for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Return meatballs to the skillet, simmering with the gravy for 5-7 minutes until heated through and coated.
  • Serve hot, drizzled with sage gravy, alongside creamy mashed potatoes or buttery noodles.
