Overall, we liked these, but they weren’t our favorite. We had the following critiques: 1. The meatballs themselves had too much black pepper. I can’t believe I’m saying that, as I am a huge BP fan, but the balls had an unpleasant aftertaste of pepper. I would cut it in half. 2. The sauce smelled and (mostly) tasted like sloppy joe sauce. Not bad, but not what I was looking for. I would play with the ratio of ketchup to BBQ and maybe up the BBQ and mustard, or even add a little ACV for fun. We definitely had enough sauce to coat the meatballs and a bit to drizzle on top too, which made the rice tasty.

This recipe was extremely easy and quick! I will be using this as a foundation to jump off for future turkey meatball recipes. I can see some teriyaki or honey garlic turkey meatballs in our near culinary future
