Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a cohesive mixture for the meatballs.
- Use your hands to form small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Aim for about 16 to 20 meatballs and set them aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove meatballs once browned.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and add finely chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in pumpkin puree, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth and bring to a simmer.
- Add chopped sage, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer gently for a few minutes.
- Gently return the browned meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the meatballs hot, drizzled with the pumpkin sage sauce. Enjoy!
