Spaghetti and Meatballs image

The meatballs for our version of this Italian classic-spaghetti and meatballs-made from a combination of ground pork and turkey, are tender and flavorful. As they simmer, they soak up the flavors of the sauce. If you have time, chill the meatballs for about 30 minutes before cooking them; this will help them keep their shape and make them easier to handle.

This recipe was easy to follow and the meatballs turned out great! The sauce was a little bland for my taste, so I added some extra garlic and oregano.
