Ingredients:

Serving

3 (1-oz) slices whole-grain bread, divided
1/2 lb ground round
1/2 lb ground turkey
2 tbsp chopped onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
cooking spray
1/4 cup blanched almonds, toasted
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 tsp saffron threads, crushed
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp ground cloves
2 garlic cloves
1 (14 1/4-oz) can no-salt-added beef broth
chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°.
Place 2 bread slices in a food processor; process 30 seconds or until crumbs are fine. Combine the breadcrumbs, beef, and next 8 ingredients (beef through egg) in a bowl. Shape mixture into 24 (1-inch) meatballs. Place meatballs on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 17 minutes or until browned.
Combine 1 bread slice, almonds, and next 6 ingredients (almonds through garlic) in a food processor, and process until smooth. Spoon mixture into a skillet; add broth, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
