Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, pan-fry until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until meatballs are cooked through and tender.
Serve the meatballs arranged on a shallow white round plate with the brown gravy generously poured over and around them.
