LEAN GROUND TURKEY:

WHOLE WHEAT BREADCRUMBS:

  • Adding whole wheat breadcrumbs to your meatballs will give them fiber. Also, these will help in combining the meatballs properly so they do not break. Use crushed oats for substitution.

EGG:

ONION:

GARLIC POWDER:

  • This powder will give you a good garlic taste in your recipe. It can also mix in the meatballs easily and make them savory. Use fresh garlic if you don’t have this powder.

COOKING SPRAY:

  • Cooking spray will cook your meatballs in the non-stick frying pan. It can make your meatballs brown as well. We will not use olive oil because it can make the recipe heavy. An alternative for you can be baking them on baking paper.

LIGHT BUTTER:

  • Your meatballs will get a traditional Swedish taste from it. Light butter will also not make your recipe too heavy. Use light margarine for another idea, too.

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

LOW-SODIUM BEEF BROTH:

PLAIN NONFAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • If you use this yogurt, your sauce will become creamy. Light sour cream can also work for your sauce in this recipe.

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE:

  • Worcestershire sauce will make your sauce tangy. Add soy sauce instead if you need another idea for this.
