### Ingredients
- **For the Meatballs:**
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Cooking spray
- **For the Gravy:**
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Meatballs:**
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, grated onion, egg, milk, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. **Cook the Meatballs:**
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Place the meatballs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry the meatballs for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F or 74°C).
3. **Prepare the Gravy:**
- While the meatballs are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the gravy is smooth and heated through.
4. **Combine and Serve:**
- Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and pour the gravy over the top.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve the Swedish turkey meatballs over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
