Excellent meatballs and sauce! I made this for a party and everyone loved it. I used a combination of ground turkey and ground beef and it was perfect.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used ground chicken instead of turkey and it was still very good. The meatballs were moist and the sauce was flavorful.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

This dish was just okay. The meatballs were a little dry and the sauce was too sweet for my taste. I would not make this again.
