  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp. salted butter
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Meatballs:
  • 1 1/2 lbs. 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 tbsp. 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
  • 2 1/4 cups beef broth
  • Pinch of ground allspice
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Directions

  1. For the mash: Combine the cauliflower and garlic in a large pot, cover with water and season with salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, 15-17 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.

  2. Meanwhile, for the meatballs: Mix the turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, egg and yolk in a bowl.

  3. Roll 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.

  4. For the sauce: Combine the mustard, Worcestershire, 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 1/4 cup broth in a small bowl, then whisk the mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly.

  5. Add the meatballs to the skillet. Simmer until cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 8-10 minutes. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cauliflower mash. Top with parsley.
