Meatballs are so versatile – they can be used in a sauce or on their own; they can be an appetizer or main course; they can be lowbrow grub or haute cuisine fancy. I’ve made many recipes for meatballs and have recently settled on the one below. Works fine and tonight I plan to make them with ground turkey for a lighter approach. Can’t wait…
