Overall, these meatballs were a good weeknight meal. They were easy to make and they tasted great. I would definitely make them again.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy marinara sauce. Next time I will use a milder sauce.

I added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to the meatballs and they were delicious. I also used a low-sodium marinara sauce and they were still very flavorful.

I made these meatballs with ground chicken instead of turkey and they were still very good. I think this recipe would work well with any type of ground meat.
