Spaghetti and Meatballs image

The meatballs for our version of this Italian classic-spaghetti and meatballs-made from a combination of ground pork and turkey, are tender and flavorful. As they simmer, they soak up the flavors of the sauce. If you have time, chill the meatballs for about 30 minutes before cooking them; this will help them keep their shape and make them easier to handle.
