Ingredients

Cauliflower Mash

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. salted butter
  • Black pepper, to taste

Meatballs:

  • 1 1/2 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for topping
  • 2 tsp. brown mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk

Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp. brown mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 1/4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • Pinch of ground allspice
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Directions

  • For the mash:

    1. Step 1Combine the cauliflower and garlic in a large pot, cover with water and season with salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, 15 to 17 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and put in a food processor. Add the sour cream, parmesan and butter; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and return to the pot.
  • For the meatballs:

    1. Step 1Mix the turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, egg and yolk in a bowl.
    2. Step 2Roll the turkey mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 minutes. Preheat the broiler. Broil the meatballs until browned, about 4 minutes.
  • For the sauce:

    1. Step 1Combine the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and 2 cups broth in a large skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Stir in the allspice. Whisk the cornstarch and remaining ¼ cup broth in a small bowl, then whisk the mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly.
    2. Step 2Add the meatballs to the skillet. Simmer until cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cauliflower mash. Top with parsley.
