A note about serious food allergies

What is comfort food? You may also ask what's "good music" or a "pretty painting." It depends on the individual, a subjective standard. Saying all that, objectively, this meal is total comfort food. Creamy mashed potatoes, moist meatballs, and a rich, buttery mushroom sauce to top it all? We've already got our slippers and jammies on. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board and peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, roll occasionally until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 10-12 minutes.

  • If using ground pork, roll occasionally until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 12-15 minutes.

  • If using Impossible burger, roll occasionally until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-12 minutes.

  1. 1

    Roast the Carrots

    Peel, trim, and cut carrot on an angle into 1/4" slices.

    Place carrots on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until tender, 15-18 minutes.

    While carrots roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    Cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks. Bring a medium pot with potato chunks covered by water to a boil.

    Once boiling, cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/2 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot.

    Add sour cream, 2 Tbsp. potato cooking water, and garlic salt. Mash until combined and smooth. If too thick, add additional potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Cover and set aside.

    While potatoes boil, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Prepare Mushrooms and Form Meatballs

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, cheese, panko, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Form turkey mixture into eight equally-sized meatballs.

  4. 4

    Start the Meatballs

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add meatballs to hot pan and cook until browned on two “sides,” 2-3 minutes per side.

    Add mushrooms. Don't worry if pan is crowded; mushrooms will cook down. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Stir occasionally until mushrooms soften, 4-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish Meatballs and Finish Dish

    Add 2 Tbsp. water and demi-glace to hot pan. Cover and cook until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner and gently stir in butter.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping meatballs and mashed potatoes with mushroom sauce from pan. Bon appétit!
