Flavor of spices excellent, texture of cream mixture excellent! I made the mistake of using turkey sausage and 99% fat free ground turkey, which resulted in a rather dry meatball. This of course, is no fault of the recipe! I feel better if I do not eat beef or pork, so that is why I made the changes. Next time I will probably reduce the potato flakes and bread crumbs when using turkey products, which will result in a more moist meatball. Nevertheless, it is a great tasting meatball and while the family probably won't eat many, I will be freezing them and having them when they are eating their beef! Thanks, KCShell
