Swedish-Style Turkey Meatballs

You don't have to travel to a Swedish furniture store for meatballs...you can make them in your own kitchen!  Makes 20-24 meatballs. I served mine over egg noodles.

INGREDIENTS
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 slices day-old french bread (1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs)
1 lb ground turkey (my package had 1.2 lbs and that worked fine)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon allspice (if you dont have allspice, this is a combination of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 can beef broth (14 oz)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS
1) Finely chop onion* and bread.  Combine onion, bread, crumbs, turkey, egg, allspice, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.  Mix gently but thoroughly.  Using a rounded scoop, form turkey mixture into meatballs about 1 1/2" round.  Heat oil in a 12" skillet over medium heat for 1-3 minutes.  Place meatballs in skillet; cook 6-8 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2) Add flour and butter to skillet, whisking to form a smooth paste.  Slowly add broth and cream, stirring constantly; cook 1-2 minutes or until sauce comes to a simmer.  Return meatballs to skillet; cook covered 4-5 minutes or until meatballs are no longer pink in the centers.

*I think the next time I make these I will saute my onions a little first.  I found that they did not cook completely  through.
