How to Make Swedish Turkey Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Pour the gravy ingredients (broth, cream, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce) into the skillet.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the gravy has thickened slightly.
  7. Serve immediately over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
