Swedish Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion minced
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 stalk celery minced
• 1/4 cup parsley minced
• 1/2 lb ground turkey lean
• 1/2 lb ground beef lean
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs gluten-free crumbs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 2 cups beef broth low sodium
• 3 oz cream cheese
• parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add celery and parsley and cook until soft, about 3-4 more minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine beef, turkey, egg, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, ¼ teaspoon salt, pepper and allspice. Mix well and form into 16 meatballs.
3. Add beef stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly drop meatballs into the broth. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, until cooked through.
4. Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set aside in a serving dish. Strain the broth, transfer to a blender with cream cheese and blend until smooth. Return to the skillet with the meatballs and simmer
