I made these meatballs with ground chicken and they were delicious! I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the mix. The meatballs were moist and flavorful, and the sauce was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasonings and they were much better. The sauce was also good, but I would have liked it to be a bit thicker.

I was skeptical about these meatballs because I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but they were actually really good! The zucchini adds a nice moisture to the meatballs and the sauce is flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were easy to make and they were delicious! I used ground turkey and they were still very flavorful. The sauce was also very good. I served them over mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I made these zucchini meatballs last night and they were amazing! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still so flavorful. The sauce was also delicious. I served them over spaghetti and it was a perfect meal.
