These meatballs were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter in the sauce. It worked perfectly!

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the meatballs still turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce.
