How to Make Turkey Meatballs and Gravy

Step 1

In a small bowl, mash the bread with the milk. In another bowl, combine turkey, 1/4 cup of the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, bread mixture and egg yolk and form into 1-inch meatballs.
Step 2

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add meatballs and cook, turning, until browned. Transfer meatballs to a bowl and set aside.
Step 3

In the same skillet, add remaining onion and cook until onion is softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until the liquid the mushrooms give off has evaporated and mixture is dry. Add broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a cup, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water. Add cornstarch mixture to the mushrooms in the skillet and stir until sauce is thickened.
Step 4

Add white wine and meatballs with any juices, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Step 5

Turn off heat and stir in yogurt and parsley. Serve over cooked noodles.
