Swedish Meatballs with Egg Noodles

With nutmeg and brown sugar, this lightened up version of Swedish Meatballs is just as flavorful as grandma's. But with ground sirloin and turkey, these meatballs are much leaner and not quite as heavy. Served over egg noodles, this recipe designed for two, is pure comfort food you'll want to sink your teeth into.
