These meatballs were delicious! I used ground chicken instead of turkey and they were still great. I also added some chopped spinach to the mixture for extra flavor.

I'm not a fan of turkey meatballs, but these were actually really good. They were moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious.

The meatballs were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too spicy for me. I'll definitely be making these again, but I'll use a milder sauce next time.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture to the mixture next time.

I love that these meatballs are made with turkey instead of beef. It makes them a healthier option, but they're still just as flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out perfectly. The cooking time was spot-on and the meatballs were cooked through without being dry. I served them with spaghetti and marinara sauce and they were a hit!
