Searching for that taste of Scandinavia? Look no further. With this recipe for Swedish-style turkey meatballs with mushrooms, you'll be transported right there. Instead of using breadcrumbs, this meatball recipe calls for a different technique: You'll have to soak your own bread in milk then squeeze all the milk of it. Next, chop up the soggy bread, and then add it to the meat mixture. It might sound unconventional, but it sure is delicious. And if you want to take those Scandinavian flavors to the next level, place 1 tablespoon of lingonberry preserves to the side of each serving.

Instructions
1
Place bread in shallow bowl. Add milk and let stand until bread softens, about 5 minutes. Squeeze bread dry; discard milk. Finely chop soaked bread.
2
Place turkey, bread, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice in large bowl; mix gently just until combined. With damp hands, shape turkey mixture into 16 (1¼-inch) meatballs.
3
Spray large skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer meatballs to plate.
4
Melt butter in skillet. Add onion and cook, stirring to scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt; increase heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned and liquid evaporates, 5–6 minutes.
5
Whisk flour and broth together in medium bowl; stir into mushroom mixture. Stir in meatballs and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; gently stir in sour cream and parsley until blended.
