Creating Turkey Meatballs in Pumpkin Sage Sauce is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the meatballs.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, pumpkin puree, dried sage, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1–2 inches in diameter.
4. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
5. Bake: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through.
6. Prepare Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, combine equal parts pumpkin puree and low-sodium vegetable broth in a saucepan. Stir in additional sage and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Heat over medium until warmed through.
7. Combine: Once the meatballs are done, gently add them to the pumpkin sauce and stir to coat.
8. Simmer: Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
9. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary.

With these steps, you’ll create a delightful dish that’s both comforting and satisfying.
