Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried sage
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, pumpkin puree, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried sage, onion powder, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Stir in the chopped fresh sage, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the sage cream sauce. Allow them to warm through for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
