I gave this 4 stars because some of us like it and some of us weren't sure. I used turkey burger (because I got it on sale really cheap) and ground pork and I thought the meatballs were delicious. We weren't crazy about the sauce, but I can't figure out why. We will certainly make the meatballs again! Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made this for Spring PAC09.
