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:
- 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:
- Step 1Mix the turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, egg and yolk in a bowl.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
