Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground chicken
2 slices white bread, soaked in a little milk and squeezed dry
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, divided
1 pinch nutmeg
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth (homemade is even better)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth (homemade is even better)
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Combine meats, bread, onion, parsley, egg, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the pinch of nutmeg in medium bowl.
  • Shape mixture into 1 inch balls, wetting hands as needed will help.
  • Add half of the meatballs to lightly oiled or sprayed large skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned all over, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer meatballs to paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all meatballs are browned.
  • Add beef and chicken broth to skillet and stir to deglaze, getting all the browned bits from the pan bottom. Return meatballs to skillet.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer, 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl combine water and cornstarch, stir well to make a slurry.
  • Add to meatballs and broth and bring to a gentle boil to thicken.
  • Add remaining pepper, grated lemon peel and thyme and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or steamed white rice.
  • Makes 6 servings.
  • Note: If your family really likes gravy you may want to double the ingredients for gravy only.
