20-Year Family Turkey Meatballs

This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” texture with a professional, “bakery-perfect” savory finish.

Ingredients

The “Magic” Base: 1 lb Ground Turkey (the “secret” to a light yet “wow” protein).

The Flavor Core: 2 cups Grain-Free Stuffing Mix (or crushed pork rinds for a 100% flourless “treasure”).

The Garden Stars: 1/2 cup Celery (finely diced) and 1/4 cup Onion (minced), exactly like the “wow” flecks in your picture.

The “Velvety” Binder: 1 large Egg and 1/2 cup Chicken Bone Broth.

The “Wow” Gravy: 2 cups Beef or Turkey Broth thickened with a little heavy cream (to avoid white flour).

The Aromatics: 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Preparation Steps

1. The Mix: In a large glass bowl, combine the turkey, stuffing, celery, onion, egg, and seasonings. Mix gently until everything is “smothered” but not over-handled.

2. The Shape: Roll into professional “wow” meatballs and place them on a greased baking sheet, just like the “unbelievable” arrangement in your photo.

3. The Bake: Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until they achieve that professional-grade golden crust.

4. The Gravy: While baking, simmer your broth and cream in a glass saucepan until it becomes “velvety” and thick.

5. The Reveal: Pour the “magic” gravy over the hot meatballs right on the pan or in a serving dish for that “steakhouse-quality” presentation.

6. The Finish: Serve immediately and watch the “miracle” happen as the next generation digs in!
