  Followed the recipe exactly. Superb flavour and the breadcrumbs in the meatballs works a treat. Very health and would cook this again without any concerns.

  I added garlic powder and onion granules to the meatballs and increased to 600g mince turkey. I also added a tsp of sugar to the sauce to balance the tomato sauce. Love the fennel seeds! Served ours with parmesan shavings.

  Really enjoy these - surprisingly as not a great fan of turkey. chucked it all into the slow cooker on low for 7hrs and had with some linguini, salad and sometimes garlic bread - become a midweek regular in our house, and a great lower fat option for meatballs

  I thought these were great, I added half a large red chilli to the sauce and a good slosh of some white wine that needed using up. Was thoroughly enjoyed by all!

  This is a lovely quick and easy meal to make. The sauce is really tasty and I made it ahead of time to give the flavours time to come out. I'd definitely do this again.

  meatballs and sauce quite bland, needs more seasoning and a bit of a kick. Will make these again as the kids loved helping and they tasted alright

  A great midweek meal, cheap and easy to make and really tasty....it's only flaw was I could have done with more sauce! Would add some passata to the recipe next time I make it. And I did put a sprinkle of chilli powder in it for a bit of a kick!
