    If you have had the meatballs at IKEA, you know they are unique. I love them. The flavor is a tad different than my regular Best Baked Meatballs, and the gravy is amazing. I have a version of Swedish Meatballs that my momma made for us growing up, and this gravy is lighter than that. It is so so good! Serve CopyCat IKEA Swedish Meatballs with cranberry sauce or the unique Lingonberry sauce for the perfectly tart pairing.

    Ingredients

    Scale

    Meatballs

    1 lb ground turkey

    1 lb ground beef

    2 large eggs

    1/3 cup quick cook oats

    1/2 cup finely diced or shredded yellow onion

    1 tsp salt

    1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

    1/4 tsp ground allspice

    1/4 tsp ground black pepper

    2 Tbsp oil for cooking

    Sauce

    3 Tbsp butter

    1 Tbsp olive oil

    1/2 cup flour

    4 cups water

    2 Tbsp Better Than Boullion base

    1 cup sour cream

    Cooked potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for serving

    Cranberry sauce or lingonberry sauce for serving

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl combine ground turkey, ground beef, eggs, oats, onion, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and pepper.  Shape in to 2 inch balls.  Place meatballs in to a greased baking dish and bake for 20 minutes until done in the center.

    While meatballs are baking, you can make the sauce.

    In a large saucepan or deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the olive oil.  Add in the flour and cook while stiring for about 2 minutes making sure to not burn it.  

    Slowly add in the water while wisking so as to break up any lumps.  Add in beef base and continue to wisk until sauce comes to a simmer and starts to thicken.

    Turn heat to low when sauce has thickened and stir in sour cream.  Keep heat very low. 

    Add in cooked meatballs and let them soak in the warm sauce for a bit to add the flavor.  

    Serve over hot rice, potatoes, or egg noodles with a scoop of cranberry or lingonberry sauce for a tart zip.  

    Enjoy!

    Notes

    If you do not have beef base, you can use chicken.  If you only have prepared broth, you can use chicken or beef (4 cups instead of water and omit base)

    Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I sh Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I share my faith with others. It can be hard to figure out where to start, but by sharing your faith with even one person you've already made a difference.

Share your faith with those around you authentically. It's important to show that your life isn't perfect. Talk about the good and the bad and what God has done for you in those times!  Talking about God and His faithfulness each day helps create a natural flow.  Talk about God often through the day in casual settings and just in conversation. 

Pray for those you interact with. Pray for God to place someone in your life who needs Him.

Of course, my greatest way of sharing my faith is with you all. I love that we've created a community here full of joyfulness and rejoicing in God’s perfect ways. I've been able to write about my own experiences (good and bad/hard) on the blog and here on Instagram, in a way where I'm able to encourage and really connect with new friends.

If you ever need any advice I'm always here! Tag someone in the comments you want to pray for today. Or simply leave us your 🙏 to spread a little joy 💕

    This travel schooling adventure has been nothing s This travel schooling adventure has been nothing short of amazing. We have finished out 2 weeks on the road and we have driven over 2,000 miles! We zigzagged across Utah and went through the center of Arizona.

My very favorite scenery so far has been Arches National Park. My goodness…..it is stunning! We went twice to Goblin Valley to play on all of the big red rocks.  

We still have about 5 more days before we get home and plenty more to explore.

We are creating memories that will bond us for life and I am so so thankful for this special time together.

What’s one of your top favorite places you’ve ever visited? Comment below 💕
