To make Lemon-Rosemary Turkey Meatballs, you will need the following ingredients:
In a food processor, pulse onion, garlic, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary) until the mixture is finely chopped. Do not over blend.
Transfer to a medium bowl and add turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix to combine evenly.
Use 2 tablespoons per portion and shape into 12 round meatballs, about 1½-inch in diameter.
In a shallow dish, roll meatballs in flour to coat. Reserve remaining flour to thicken the sauce.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil then reduce heat to medium and cook meatballs for 3-5 minutes, turning once, until evenly browned all over. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high and cook wine (or ½ cup broth) for 1-3 minutes, scraping off any bits from the bottom of the pan, until mostly evaporated.
Add broth from the can and bring to a boil.
Bring heat to medium-high and cook sauce for 4-8 minutes until reduced to 1 cup.
In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice and 1 tablespoon flour. Add to the sauce along with butter and ¼ teaspoon salt. Simmer, while whisking, for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
Strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding any bits.
Serve sauce over meatballs with a side of your choice.
