Ingredients

Scale

For the Meatballs:

1 lb ground turkey

1 large egg

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic (minced or powder)

2 tsp chopped parsley

For the Parmesan Sauce:

1¾ cups heavy cream

1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly cut from the block)

4 tbsp butter

1 tsp salt (use ½ tsp if butter is salted)

1 tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Prepare Meatballs: In a bowl, mix turkey, egg, salt, pepper, garlic, and parsley until just combined. Form into 1½-inch meatballs.

Cook Meatballs: In a skillet over medium heat, cook meatballs in a little oil or butter until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make Sauce: In the same pan, melt butter. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

Add Parmesan and stir until melted and smooth. Simmer gently until sauce thickens.

Return meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes more.

Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley or over zucchini noodles or cauliflower mash.
