Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Shape mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. (Temperature should register 165-degrees)
Meanwhile, make the gravy.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until it begins to turn golden.

Let simmer for about 5 minutes, until thickened slightly. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Garnish with parsley and enjoy over mashed potatoes with lingonberry jam, if desired. Enjoy!
