Ingredients
measuring cupServings: 3-4
Directions
Time Icon Total: 40 minsStep 1
In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and cook until it becomes translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the pita and 2 tablespoons of the broth and stir; cook for a minute or 2, until the pita has softened. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Step 3
Add the ground turkey, allspice, garlic powder, salt, pepper and the egg yolk; use your clean hands to gently incorporate. Grease your palms with cooking oil spray, then use your hands to shape the mixture into about 15 meatballs that are 1 1/4 inches in diameter.
Step 4
Place a plate near the stove. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the same skillet, over medium heat. Add half the meatballs and cook for about 8 minutes, turning them as needed so they brown evenly. Transfer them to a plate. Add the remaining meatballs; cook and transfer to the same plate.
Step 5
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet; as soon as it melts, stir in the flour to form a paste (roux). Pour in the 1 1/2 cups of broth, the fish sauce and mustard, stirring constantly, to form a sauce.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high, so the sauce thickens a bit. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well blended. Taste, and add more salt and/or pepper, as needed.
Step 7
Return all the meatballs to the pan and place over medium-low heat; cover and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and warm. Scatter parsley over each portion of meatballs and sauce. Serve hot.
