Yummmy! I love turkey meatballs!
Ooo, those look so good.
The first time I made meatballs was a total disaster too. I didn't know I had to pan fry them first and just threw them in the spaghetti sauce, which of course crumbled. Your turkey meatballs look really nicely browned.
Sometimes I put mine in the oven (or broiler, or toaster oven) instead of the pan. Of course, then only one side gets brown, unless you turn them. I love this recipe! The Joy of Cooking is like my bibl.e
The turkey meatballs look really nice, and it's great to see them as a healthy alternative :)
Nice site you have here, I like your take on the recipes. I'll be back to check you out.
I've had meatball failures and meatball successes. I completely believe it depends on the recipe.
sorry your first attempt didn't work, but these look great! you should try the one in my blog - you can throw them in a red sauce, or try the sweet/sour version :)
