Tips & Tricks

light emoji

If you don't have ground turkey you can use beef, pork, or a mixture of either.

The quantity indicated in this recipe should make quite a few meatballs. This recipe is a bit laborious and takes some time, but it's worth having the leftovers to eat another day of the week. If the typical round meatball is too boring, try pressing down harder and shape it into a patty. This way you have more variety and you can eat meatballs one day and hamburgers another.
