Tips:
- To ensure the meatballs stay moist and juicy, use a combination of ground turkey and ground pork or beef. The pork or beef fat will help keep the meatballs tender.
- Use fresh herbs and spices for the best flavor. Dried herbs and spices can be used, but they will not provide as much flavor as fresh herbs and spices.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
- Form the meatballs into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
- Cook the meatballs over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce, such as tomato sauce, gravy, or marinara sauce.
