Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy and Wilted Greens

This hearty recipe features juicy turkey meatballs paired with a savoury mushroom gravy and perfectly wilted greens. It's wholesome, flavourful, and easy to make.

1. Finely chop the parsley. Add the chopped parsley to a mixing bowl, with ground turkey, chopped onions, minced garlic and salt. Combine without over mixing.

2. Roll mixture into balls with a 1 1/2 inch diameter.

3. Cook meatballs in a skillet over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through, using a pair of tongs to carefully rotate them every couple of minutes so that they can cook evenly. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4. Add diced mushrooms to the skillet (add oil or broth to the pan if needed) Cook the mushrooms for 5-6 minutes or until tender, seasoning evenly with salt and pepper.

5. Stir in the arrowroot flour and reduce heat to medium low. Let cook for 1 minute, stirring.

6. Add the broth and milk and let that simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the liquid to thicken. You can add more broth for a runnier consistency and more arrowroot for a thicker texture.

7. Meanwhile, add 1/2 cup of water to a large sauce pan. Wash and de-stem the kale. Bring the water to a boil, add the kale and let wilt (about 30 seconds), drain the water.

8. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley to taste. Add meatballs back to pan with the mushrooms. Serve meatballs and gravy with wilted greens. Enjoy!
