What I love most about this recipe is that you can use fresh meat or frozen meatballs to get this taste! If you’re looking for a super simple dinner recipe that the entire family will enjoy, give this meatball recipe a try. 

Just be ready…it’s going to be a big hit!

Can you use ground turkey meat instead of beef for this recipe?

Sure, if you want to! Just know that there won’t be as much fat or moisture in the meatballs if you switch out. The taste and flavor should still be the same, though!

Then add the meatballs to the sauce and coat them well. Place a lid over the pan and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Be sure to move the meatballs around about halfway through.
