Swedish Meatballs – Some things never get old, including this classic. We’ve updated the recipe a bit to use ground turkey that’s gently seasoned with nutmeg and onion for perfect flavor. Cream of mushroom soup combined with beef broth delivers rich flavor and a velvety sauce.
What could be more Swedish than our meatballs? Swedish meatballs, perhaps the country’s most famous culinary item, are actually based on a recipe brought back from Turkey in the early 18th century by King Charles XII of Sweden. They are a part of both traditional holiday meals and a staple in everyday home cooking.

Calories: 358kcal
Cost: 10
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey or ground beef
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup panko
- 1 small onion minced (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup beef broth
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 4 cups egg noodles cooked
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Thoroughly mix the turkey, egg, bread crumbs, onion, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Shape the turkey mixture firmly into about 20 meatballs.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until well browned on all sides (make sure the skillet and oil are hot before adding the meatballs to prevent sticking). Pour off any fat.
- Add the broth to the skillet and heat to a boil, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the soup and sour cream. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle with the parsley.
