Lemon-Rosemary Turkey Meatballs

These are extremely tasty and have made several times. They're time consuming, so once I did the serving size portion recommended into patties to speed things up. Worked better than I expected.

These meatballs and sauce have amazing flavor, which is even better the next day if you have leftovers. This is a recipe that I've made several times and have added to my regular meal rotation.

Maybe I did something wrong... I look forward to trying this again. I need up having to put my meatballs in the oven because they were not done. But that's my fault for not trusting my gut and taking them out when they were only brown (per the recipe) and not done. A misunderstanding on my part I guess. I also doubled the sauce using cornstarch instead of the flour. I added more chicken broth too. Other then that, it's a wonderful dish that I can't wait to make again. Pros: Delicious Cons: Had to make a few important modifications

Terrific with minor modifications This is a terrific recipe that is now in my standard repertoire. Just a couple of comments. Like a couple of other reviewers, I double the sauce. It's delicious and there isn't enough. Also the meatballs are a bit small if you make them as called for. They are also very delicate and I found that the addition of one egg as a binder helped a good deal. Otherwise, a fantastic find! Pros: Delicious, super flavorful Cons: Not enough sauce; meatballs to small and delicate

Delicious! These were delicious and easy to make! Full of flavor. I used all fresh ingredients and it worked out well. The only downside to this recipe is the sauce does not yield nearly enough to cover the to meatballs. Next time I will double the recipe. Pros: Easy to make Cons: Sauce yield

Definitely a keeper My husband raved about the dish and said it was something he would expect from a fine restaurant. Really, it is very flavorful and the lemon flavor comes through while still blending nicely with the rosemary and wine flavors. I wanted to be sure there was a good amount of sauce left so I did not reduce to one cup as directed in recipe. Served with egg noodles and green peas. I also used 1.25 lbs ground turkey and got 18 good sized meatballs. The recipe is more involved (cooked meatballs in 3 batches, transferred meatballs back and forth into the pan a couple of times, zested lemon, two reductions of sauce) than what I typically do, and I had more dishes and utensils to clean, so probably won't cook this again on a low energy night. But it was well worth the extra work. Pros: Healthy alternative to beef and pork Cons: More work than I usually put into a dinner main course

Absolutely Delicious!! I knew this was going to be good! I used 1/2 ground chicken and 1/2 ground turkey. I combined the meal with the following recipes...kale chips and green and yellow green beans with wild mushrooms...although I used cremini mushrooms!

Super Yummy This was so delicious. My husband who usually turns his nose up at ground turkey was even impressed with this recipe. I served the meatballs with soba noodles and a fresh garden salad. Will definitely make again! Pros: Quick, tasty

Better than I thought it would be I don't know why I was skeptical of this recipe. I liked all the ingredients but for some reason didn't think it would go well with turkey, and thought the meatballs themselves would be dry. But I tried it because I happened to have all the ingredients already. It was fabulous! It 's also very light and fresh tasting, and sometimes, that's just what you're looking for. I added more garlic (because I just can't help myself) and also doubled the sauce. I served with steamed carrots and whole wheat noodles (like egg noodles). Fabulous! My husband likes my cooking in general, but he is definitely a super fan of this dish. And it's healthy! Total bonus! Pros: light and fresh Cons: nada!

Delicious! Really simple recipe and great even without lemon zest and bottled lemon juice (used what I had.) I would probably double the sauce next time as it really is supper and makes the dish. Plus if you serve with rice as I did, the rice soaks up the sauce and that is so good too! Pros: easy, not a bite left Cons: none

DeliciousThese were delicious! A very sophisticated-tasting meatball. I was able to prepare the meatballs ahead of time and store covered in fridge. I also used only ground turkey breasts and the meatballs were perfectly moist. The gravy was very tasty and my whole family loved the meal. Served with whole heat egg noodles.Pros: family-friendly, make-ahead

These are fantasticThese are so good. I was impressed with all the flavor. Made it as recipe call for, but forgot to add the butter - didn't notice it until re-reading the recipe. Next time, I might add a Tsp of capers. Served with egg noodles (less healthy, but so yummy)Pros: flavorful, healthyCons: a bit of work
