    Very good. Used gluten free bread crumbs. Probably better to use finely grated cheese to blend more easily. The spice level of the sausage determines the heat level. Great to bake rather than fry the meatballs.

    These came out perfectly at our house. Everyone loved them. Really good recipe.

    Very happy with how these turned out. The combo of the ground turkey and Italian sausage worked really well for me. Easy to prepare and excellent flavor payoff.

    These were excellent. Used 90 % lean Turkey, which kept them moist. Homemade marinara also helped.

    I made the meatballs one day ahead, only using 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, as I didn't want them spicy, and they weren't. The flavor was good, but didn't wow me. Loved the ease of baking the meatballs. I didn't brush them with oil and didn't think it mattered. I got 29 meatballs.

    The meatballs tasted okay, not spicy to my taste but was not as moist as I like them to be. The prosciutto and the 3T of olive oil did not help to moisten 2 pounds of lean turkey. I baked mine in two trays, the top tray did brown up well, but not the lower tray, I should have swapped them half way through.

    Pg. 158. A sale at my WF on Rao's Marinara Sauce (half price!) led me to make this recipe. Sadly, it was one of the few disappointments I've experienced with Ina's recipes. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great either. I followed the directions to the letter and it took a very long time to prepare. My meatballs were not nearly as browned as the photo in the recipe. The meatballs were fine, but just didn't have much personality and were not spicy. I don't think I'll make this again.
