- 4Servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey or veal
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons grated onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1 rounded tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or ground cloves
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced cremini or button mushrooms (2 1/2 cups)
- 2 shallots, chopped or very thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups turkey or veal stock
- 1/2 pound extra-wide egg noodles
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 - 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Preparation
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and milk. In a large bowl, mix the turkey, egg, onion, 2 tbsp. parsley, Dijon, garlic, nutmeg and allspice; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the breadcrumbs. Discard the milk; add the breadcrumbs to the large bowl. Mix to combine. Roll into walnut-size balls.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil, two turns of the pan, over medium-high. Add the meatballs; cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the butter to the skillet. When it foams, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and stir until softened and slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Season. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute. Add 2 cups stock and bring to a simmer. Slide the meatballs back into the skillet and simmer until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Salt the pasta water. Add the noodles and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
Stir the sour cream into the skillet. Mix a few spoonfuls of the sauce into the noodles. Top noodles with meatballs and remaining sauce. Garnish with parsley and dill.
