Meatballs are a tasty and filling dish. As a side dish you can serve rice, pasta, boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, buckwheat...

Turkey meatballs are more dietary. This is important for those who, for one reason or another, monitor their diet.

Meatballs are usually prepared with gravy. Today we will cook turkey meatballs in sour cream sauce. This sauce turns out liquid. If you want a thicker sauce, you will need to thicken it. There are several nuances here: either roll the meatballs in flour and fry (in this case, the sauce will thicken itself thanks to the flour), or dilute the flour with water and add to the sauce. I used the second option in this recipe because I don't like the flour to burn when frying.

Rice must be boiled in advance. You can also use raw rice, but then the meatballs will turn out like hedgehogs. It's up to you to choose.

So, to prepare turkey meatballs in sour cream sauce, we will prepare the products according to the list.

Cooking minced meat. Mix all ingredients and knead the minced meat.

The bread must be soaked in milk. No milk? No problem. You can take water.

We form meatballs from the minced meat and fry them in sunflower oil on both sides until half cooked.

Let's put the meatballs aside while we prepare the sauce.

Cut the onion into half rings, grate the carrots on a coarse grater, and chop the garlic finely. Lightly fry everything.

Add sour cream, meatballs and water. Add as much water as you need. Simmer everything under the lid for 15 minutes.

At this time, combine the flour with water, stir well with a whisk so that there are no lumps.

Add the mixture to the meatballs and heat for a couple more minutes. The sauce will thicken.

Turkey meatballs in sour cream sauce are ready. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot.

Successful turkey meatballs. Useful culinary tips and tricks for preparing dishes

It is preferable to use homemade minced meat by chopping chilled, skinless white meat from a fillet or turkey thigh in a meat grinder on the middle rack. You can skip 2 times.

Onions, ground in a meat grinder along with the meat pulp, will add juiciness to the finished dish. If you use store-bought minced meat, it won’t hurt to add onion, only very finely chopped.

The bun for the cutlet mass must be dry so that the structure of the meatballs does not become sticky.

To get juicy meatballs, you need to fill them completely with sauce so that they disappear.

If you remove the foil covering the meatballs 10 minutes before the end of the baking time in the oven, they will be covered with a beautiful golden brown crust.

Turkey meatballs with gravy are aromatic and tasty. A recipe with photos will teach you how to cook this delicious dish step by step.
Many people believe that meatballs differ from cutlets due to the presence of rice in their composition. Indeed, cereals are very often added to minced meatballs. However, it is not considered an essential ingredient of this dish. To make the meatballs soft and juicy, you can use eggs or bread. But the sauce in which the meatballs are stewed after frying must be present. This is the main difference between this dish and traditional cutlets. The fact is that cutlets are a dish of French cuisine. It was originally customary to serve it with a side dish, such as mashed potatoes. But we owe the appearance of meatballs to the Turkic peoples, who always served them separately with a thick gravy, similar in thickness to sauce. Currently, this gravy is most often made from tomatoes or tomato juice with the addition of onions and peppers. Meatballs can be prepared from any meat, but this recipe uses turkey fillet - the most dietary and healthy. This dish is ideal for those who watch their figure and their health. It will also fit perfectly into a child's menu. The addition of eggs and bread makes the turkey meatballs juicy and tender.

To prepare, take:

- 1 kg turkey fillet,
- 2 large onions (one for minced meat, the second for gravy),
- 1 bell pepper,
- A glass of tomato juice,
- 2-3 slices of bread (preferably stale),
- salt to taste,
- 1 egg,
- vegetable oil.
