Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions until soft and translucent. Set onions aside to cool and wipe skillet clean.

In a large mixing bowl combine the cooled onions with remaining meatball ingredients. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.

Heat remaining oil in skillet over high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.

Set meatballs aside. Add the butter and mushrooms to the pan and saute until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the sherry and chicken stock, to deglaze the pan. Sprinkle in the instant flour and cook until sauce thickens. Add the half-and-half, Worcestershire and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, whisking often until thickened. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat, add meatballs back to the pan. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Discard bay leaves.

Serve meatballs with preserves.

    It got good reviews from the family. I did not have any sherry - so I used white cooking wine but I think the sherry is needed for enhanced flavor. I also had to 1/2 the breadcrumbs and spices because my package of Turkey was only 1lb but I used the correct amounts for the sauce and I think that worked very well. I will make this again!

    This recipe is awesome! I used 2lbs of ground turkey breast and the meatballs were moist and tender. I would double the amount of sauce though if you are going to use that much meat, there was not a lot left in the pan. The gravy was very flavorful and it was not that hard to do. I really enjoyed it and I am sure that this one will be a staple in my home.
