Here is how you make Sophy's Low Fat Swedish Meatballs:

Mince onion, place in a large pot with 1 Tbls (or less) olive oil. Cook gently until soft and almost see through. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, precooked onion, parsley, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, & breadcrumbs. Mix well. Gently mix in milk and egg. Set asideIn a 2 quart sauce pot, prepare 4-6 cups broth. I like chicken prepared from the "Better than Boullion" brand.Back in the large pot, melt butter, add flour and cook for about one minute. Wisk in 1/2 cup broth from the sauce pot and 1 cup half & half. Add salt, pepper, capers and turn off heat.Using a small cookie scoop (aprox 1.25" across), form meatballs and dunk in hot broth about 2 minutes. Remove from broth and place in large pot with the sauce. When all the meat is in the sauce, turn heat on low, stir to coat, cover and let simmer 5 minutes.Serve hot with rice, pasta, sliced potatoes, or veggies.*if you don't have bread crumbs, take 2-3 slices of bread, or a bread roll and toast until dry throughout. Crumble and grind to fine crumbs in a spice grinder or similar gizmo.1 serving is 10 meatballsmakes a little over 10 servingsNumber of Servings: 10.6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user EMS-WIFE.
