“I've made these meatballs several times and I have commented before at how much I love this recipe. Tonight I put some "soup starter" veggies in the food processor and then added them to the mix: celery and carrots. They seem to have melted into the meatballs.” — a cook, 5.0★
“These turkey meatballs are so delicious. I had to use extra lean but with adding 2 teaspoons of olive oil as suggested they turned out moist. I added some grated parmesan and then wondered how 1/8 teaspoon of chipotle would taste. It gave it a nice mild bite” — a cook, 5.0★
