Ingredients: 1 lb ground turkey; 4 ½ oz white rice (cooked, cooled to room temperature); 1 large egg; 1/2 cup onion (red or white, finely chopped); 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped); 1/2 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 1/4 tsp paprika; 1/2 cup flour (to pat); 2 ½ tbsp olive oil (extra light); 1 tbsp butter; 1 ½ tbsp flour; 2 cups water (or vegetable broth); 1/4 cup sour cream (or greek yogurt); 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1 tbsp fresh basil (freshly chopped, to garnish)

In the same skillet, add butter, then whisk in flour and continue whisking until golden in color. Whisk in water and stir until it starts to thicken. Add sour cream with paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Add the turkey meatballs.

Bring sauce to a simmer and stir until it thickens to coat the meatballs. Once the meatballs are warmed up, remove them from heat and garnish with chopped basil. (Remember that the sauce thickens more when it cools.)
