Instruções

Make the meatballs

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, panko, nutmeg, pepper, Worcestershire, mustard powder, egg, onion powder, garlic, and salt

Mix well, then with wet hands, form golf ball–size balls (about 2 tablespoons each)

You should have about 16 meatballs.Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

Once the oil is glistening, working in batches, add the meatballs in a single layer

Cook, turning them carefully, until browned on all sides, 10 minutes

Transfer the meatballs to a plate

Make the cream sauce

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet

Once the butter begins to bubble, sprinkle in the flour and whisk until incorporated, about 1 minute

Whisk in the chicken stock, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire, heavy cream, and nutmeg and cook, whisking, until incorporated, and the sauce begins to simmer, 2 minutes more

Return the meatballs to the sauce cover and cook until the sauce has thickened and the internal temperature of the meatballs reach 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 8-10 minutes.Garnish with parsley

Serve on its own, over noodles, mashed potatoes, cooked rice or creamy polenta
