Instructions
 

To Make Meatballs:

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and onion and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add apple, garlic, cinnamon, salt and pepper and continue to cook for 3 minutes. Take off heat and add mix in breadcrumbs. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg and breadcrumb mixture. Form into 36 (1 inch) meatballs. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes in preheated oven, turning once.
  • You can proceed with stroganoff, or place meatballs in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also lay out on a cookie sheet and freeze individually. When frozen place in a freezer bag and keep sealed for 3-4 months.

To Make Stroganoff:

  • Prepare noodles as per package directions.
  • While noodles are cooking, in a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and sauté mushrooms and garlic for about 6 minutes until just turning a bit brown. Add ¼ cup of beef broth and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and toss, stirring for 1 minute. Add remaining beef broth, bring up to boil. Reduce heat and rapid-simmer for about 3-4 minutes until just starting to thicken. Stir in sour cream, Dijon, nutmeg and parsley.
  • Add meatballs, toss to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm through. Add noodles and toss to coat. Serve with additional sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional).
