Swedish Meatballs I

Swedish Meatballs Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients 1 egg 1/2 cup low-fat (1%) milk 2 slices whole wheat bread, lightly toasted and made into coarse crumbs 1/2 small onion, minced 2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 pound ground skinless turkey breast 1/2 pound lean ground pork 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and bread crumbs; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the onion, parsley, salt, allspice, and nutmeg; blend well. Add the meats and stir with a fork until well blended. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Sprinkle with flour on a pice of waxed paper and place next to the meat bowl. Shape the meat into 48 meatballs, about 1 tablespoon each. Dip each meatball lightly in the flour and place on a baking sheet. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add half the meatballs and cook until browned all over, 5 minutes. Cover and cook the meatballs until the meat is no longer pink, 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. (Remaining meatballs should be refrigerated.) Transfer the cooked meatballs to a bowl, cover, and keep warm. Remove any small meat pieces from the skillet. Repeat step 3 with the remaining meatballs.
