Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often more economical.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth reduces sodium and is suitable for vegetarians.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness, while white sugar is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier due to unsaturated fats, while margarine can be a budget option.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

In a large bowl, combine ground pork, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and egg.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then mix until well combined.

Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and golden.

While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add diced apple to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Cook the apple gravy for 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Once the meatballs are done, add them to the skillet with the apple gravy.

Gently stir to coat the meatballs in the gravy and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
