Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 07/30/2019 This is my biggest repeat recipe. I never leave reviews, but I had to on this one because it's so much better that the reviews say. It is sooooo good. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 06/03/2019 I have no idea why this recipe is only showing 3 stars. Look at the reviews! These are amazing. I've been making them all the time for several years. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 09/22/2018 Really liked this recipe, and our 4-year-old even enjoyed it. Didn't have carrots so used red pepper. Also used garlic salt instead of regular salt. I didn't feel like the veggies cooked very well, so will shred or pre-cook them next time. Also, finished cooking them in pasta sauce with half of the broth first. Great flavor! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 08/10/2018 [filtered] you Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 03/30/2018 Made these last night. I forgot to pick-up carrots so I added finely diced red and orange sweet peppers. I used turkey stock instead of chicken broth. Other than that I followed the recipe. We loved them and I'll definitely make them again. Next time I'll remember the carrots but I'll still add the peppers and use the turkey stock. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 03/07/2018 I actually tweeked the recipe a bit...I used carrots, celery, and onions, and Italian panco. This recipe has become a favorite at our house! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/03/2018 These quickly become a family favourite, and have a permanent, solid spot in our dinner rotation as well as work potlucks. Amazingly juicy and full of flavour! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/14/2014 I first made these as a beginner finger food for my 8 month old. I've made these several times now and they are always a big hit. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/26/2014 OK I never write recipe reviews but these meatballs are AMAZING! Make the double batch as the recipe suggests because everyone will love them. My Greek Mother-in-Law who is an exceptional cook, gave them rave reviews as did my 6 year old daughter. Oh did I mention that they are healthy AND lo-cal too? Will be making these every week. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 05/10/2014 These meatballs are so delicious...very moist and flavorful. They also reheat nicely in the microwave and go great with buttered egg noodles. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/09/2014 Rated best meatballs by my family, including 4 kids! Tossed then in egg noodles and there was not a crumb left. This will now be a staple in my house Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/27/2014 These meatballs were moist and flavorful for a turkey meatball. I personally prefer them a bit spicier, but my family (including my three-year old) thought these were fantastic. The carrot and zucchini added nice texture and color to the meatballs. I halved the recipe but kept the veggie content the same, and they still came out great. These would work with a wide variety of side dishes. I do agree with another reviewer that they were too salty. Next time, I will cut the salt in half. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/23/2014 These were delicious! The carrot adds an interesting texture and nice moisture to the final product. I added some garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes, but followed the recipe otherwise. (And to those commenting on salmonella - good lord. If you are making these with your children, clearly you can make sure they wash their hands afterwards. This risk of sickness is miniscule compare to the to fun and satisfaction of helping make a delicious dinner for their family.) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/17/2014 I added more seasoning like basil and crushed red pepper, black pepper. I would use LOW SODIUM chicken broth next time!! I liked the flavor but they were saltier than we prefer. (I used less salt than it called for as well btw) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/14/2014 I made these for dinner last night & I have to say that they are the best meatballs I have ever made. I know they will be even better when I make them again since I forgot to add my chopped onions! (I've been chopped, haha). Even my son said that he likes them better than the meatballs I have bought from the Italian imports take out store! Thanks for this great recipe! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 04/24/2013 I first made these meatballs almost a year ago, and they have since become one of our staple family meals. They are so delicious, low-carb friendly, and pretty simple to make. I always make them for dinner when we have overnight guests - and they are always a huge hit. They also go well with a simple steamed veggie or a green salad. Oh, and they're better the second day! Don't forget to save some for your lunch. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/28/2012 Looks very scrumptious, I am making these meatballs for dinner tonight!! But, I was also thinking that this is NOT a recipie to have your little ones help with for obvious reasons- salmonella contamination!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 08/22/2012 I made these for company and they were a hit with both the adults and the kids. Very simple and delicious. I did not have coarse sea salt, so substituted with table salt and used half the amount called for in the recipe (because the same volume of table salt is twice as salty as coarse sea salt). Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/27/2012 This looks like a great recipe for the family and something young children would like to eat. Jessica Alba told Martha that she lets her small child help with mixing and rolling the meatballs. I would caution anyone who wants to do this to be aware of a problem that could result. Small children may not wash their hands as well as they should after handling raw turkey, or raw ground beef. Be aware of E coli or salmonella contamination that could could cause serious illness in the child or adult.Martha Stewart Member

This looks like a great recipe for the family and something young children would like to eat. Jessica Alba told Martha that she lets her small child help with mixing and rolling the meatballs. I would caution anyone who wants to do this to be aware of a problem that could result. Small children may not wash their hands as well as they should after handling raw turkey, or raw ground beef. Be aware of E coli or salmonella contamination that could could cause serious illness in the child or adult.
