    Can substitute chicken bouillon paste for chicken stock.

    Very easy - the sauce cooks fast - needed a lot more broth . Basic recipe with some flavor

    Prefer this cooking method to frying meatballs.

    This was easy to throw together, and serving it over buttered egg noodles with some lingonberry sauce was the way to go. That said, I won't make again. Too much allspice maybe? The sauce kinda weird. Lucky for me, I live near Ikea, I'll just go there next time.

    This was not a favorite for us. The sauce cooked down too much so there wasn't enough to pour over the noodles so I had to thin it significantly with chicken broth, and the sour cream flavor was too overwhelming for me (and I love sour cream). I will not repeat this.

    I had some leftover sour cherry jam so sweetened with a little sugar. Served with rice and roast broccoli and red cabbage. Fantastic!

    Used dark meat ground turkey. I liked the way these tasted and how quickly I was able to mix and form the meatballs. I may have made them a little too large. Definitely took more than 20 minutes for these to cook on low heat. I had plenty of sauce but unfortunately made the user error of not whisking well enough and my sauce broke. Still tasty! Not sure if I’d make again though.

    The meatballs were good, but the sauce was just ok for us (too much sour cream).

    Not too exciting, but good for a weeknight. I added butter to my egg noodles because there wasn’t a ton of sauce.

    This was pretty dissapointing.. I used white meat turkey (which she says works fine) but the meatballs were done in 5 minutes versus the 20 minutes stated in the recipe. That meant I had to take them out of the pan and let the sauce reduce and by the time it reduced to the right consistency there was very little left in the pan. Meatballs turned out pretty dry too. I'm all for flexible recipes but dark meat turkey is really the only way this recipe works.

    Not pretty but so good and shockingly tender! Make sure to whisk the sauce well so it doesn't break. Also, measure out the freshly grated nutmeg - I went too wild on the nutmeg the first go around.
