I doubled the recipe for our big family. I was hesitant to use the cayenne and red pepper flakes but they make the dish in my opinion. My family loved the melted fresh mozzarella. As always your recipe is great!

I have been searching for a good turkey meatball recipe and I finally found it!!! These are so moist and flavorful! I doubled the recipe to have leftovers to freeze and omitted the mustard (I didn’t have any on hand) and they turned out wonderful I will definitely be making these again!!

I used my own sauce, but used this meatball recipe and finished as instructed with the mozzarella and basil. I had to leave the eggs out of the recipe as my son has an allergy, but used a splash of chicken broth to moisten the mix instead. I also included a handful of baby spinach, chopped fine, in order to boost the veggie content a bit.

The end product was great and I got rave reviews from my husband and both kids – not something that happens very often! I’ll definitely be using this recipe again!

I’m hoping these hold together without the egg (my son is allergic) because they look delish and I’d love to give them a try!

The flavor of the meatballs was fantastic! I have been looking for a turkey meatball with flavor and moist texture and these fit the bill. I added the cayenne to the meat but did not add pepper flakes to the sauce. Personal preference. I had a 14.5 oz can of petite diced tomatoes with olive oil and garlic so I pureed that for the sauce and it was delicious. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will use two cans as we like more sauce. I think I will shred the mozz instead of cubed. Good job!
