Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 2 pounds ground chicken or turkey
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk of choice I use cashew milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher fine salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sauce:
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup milk of choice I use cashew milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: freshly chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the meat with breadcrumbs, milk, egg, and seasonings. Stir very well, then allow the meat mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
- Form into small meatballs (about 1 tablespoon of meat per meatball).
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sear the meatballs in 2 batches, just until golden in spots, then set aside.
- In the slow cooker, whisk all the ingredients for the sauce. Add in the seared meatballs and gently stir to coat them with the sauce. Cook on LOW for 3 hours.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
