Combine bread crumbs, onion, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg and milk in a large mixing bowl.  Let soak for a few minutes. Add the ground turkey and mix well with hands.   Heat butter and olive oil over medium high in a skillet.  Use small cookie dough scoop to scoop meat mixture and drop into hot skillet.. Brown meatballs; remove with slotted spoon to a 2  1/2 qt. baking dish.  Repeat with remaining meat mixture. Add enough olive oil to make about 2 T in the skillet after all the meatballs are cooked, and stir in 3 T flour to make a roux.  Slowly whisk in beef broth and cream; add seasonings.  Stir over medium high heat until thickened.   Pour gravy over the meatballs in the baking dish, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
