Let me commend you on your palate! Instead of ginger, try adding 1/8 teaspoon cardamom to the meat and see if that doesn’t hit the mark (a bit of salt helps, too). The only other change I’d make would be to substitute 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard (the powdered stuff) for the 1/2 tablespoon prepared.
Oh - and cranberries make a fine substitute for lingonberries (no idea if you can get cranberries either)…
Happy cooking!
