Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 cup ground turkey breast

  • 1 cup ground pork

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound button mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 (14 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream

  • 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon seedless raspberry jam

Directions

  • Combine the onion, bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, nutmeg, ground pork, and ground turkey in a large bowl. Taking two tablespoons at a time, form meatballs until all of the mixture is used.

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Move cooked meatballs to a serving plate.

  • Cook the mushrooms in the same skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until the liquid evaporates.

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the chicken broth and flour. Add this mixture and the meatballs to the skillet, bringing to a simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.

  • Remove from heat and add the sour cream, parsley, raspberry jam, and remaining salt. Serve immediately.
