Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of Ground Turkey
  • 1 cup of Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 tablespoon of Sage Leaves, chopped
  • 3 cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 1 small Onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup of Breadcrumbs
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon of Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
  • 1 cup of Vegetable Broth
  • 1 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning

  • Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped onion, sage, egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly but gently, ensuring not to overwork the meat.
  • With wet hands, form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. This size allows for even cooking and easy eating.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, allowing them to brown on all sides (about 8-10 minutes). Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the vegetable broth and pumpkin puree. Whisk together until smooth. Stir in additional sage and season with salt and pepper. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs back into the skillet, ensuring they are fully coated with the sauce. Let everything simmer together for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
  • Notes

    Turkey meatballs in pumpkin sage sauce combine hearty flavors with health benefits, making them an excellent choice for lunch or dinner.
