I think I've made these for the third time now, and am surprised that I have not reviewed the recipe! I have been making them with ground turkey with good results, and I also use oatmeal as a binder and skip the rice. I've been making this work starting with just a pound of meat (and one egg)...it just turns it into a "meatloaf-coated brussels sprout" rather than a sprout-stuffed meatball. I've been surprised by this, but they actually don't tend to lose their coatings, which I had expected them to since the coats are much thinner. These (even my version) work very well in the freezer--I freeze them on a cooking sheet while they're still fragile, then transfer to a baggie. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
