This was a great recipe. I just made it for dinner. It was very quick. I didn't have several ingredients so I substituted. I used saltines. Also I didn't have V-8 so I used ketchup. I also used dried basil as one of the other reviewers suggested and added onion. Didn't have milk either and used half and half. They really had so much flavor

It is RARE ratings/reviews steer me wrong. But, imo, this recipe was not good at all. :( The sauce was extremely tasteless and the garlic in the title...? hmmm...couldn't taste it in the recipe. (Though admittedly I like A LOT of garlic.) I gave it three stars because it was edible, i admit it was easy to make and also, as leftovers, it was actually a little bit better than the evening I prepared it. (Still didn't care for the sauce.)

Great taste to the meatballs and sauce.Moist meatballs! I doubled recipe, but it didn't make enough sauce to completely cover pasta it was served with. It was a little thin for sauce on noodles, but it still worked. I will definitley use this as a go-to meatball recipe.

the meatballs were wonderful! i was not a fan of the v8 based sauce so i didn't use it. but the meatballs were the perfect consistency to pick up w an ice cream scoop so they cooked beautifully. I have toddlers and we ate them w dipping sauces - ketchup, BBQ & Teriyaki. Delish!

We liked this recipe very much. I did use dried oregano instead of parsley because that is what I had. Also (for the same reason) I used tomato juice instead of V-8 and Italian Bread Crumbs instead of butter flavored crackers. I cooked the sauce a bit longer in order to thicken it up to add on top. It was good that way too. I served it over brown rice and everyone enjoyed it very much. It is very good with squash as the flavors compliment one another.

I love ground turkey and am always looking for new ways to make it. The only change was I used a combination of fresh basil and fresh parsley, and garlic salt instead of salt. I put it over spaghetti squash that I had baked, and then briefly sauted in olive oil with garlic (can never have too much!). Thanks!

This recipe was a great idea and healthy, but the sauce was definitely lacking. I followed the recipe as stated and was underwhelmed by the blandness of the sauce. The meatballs turned out great and had a wonderful texture. I used Ritz crackers and thought that they added a great flavor.

Great recipe, I made this last night when my sister was over for dinner and she asked for the recipe so it's definitely a keeper. I thought the meatballs had good flavor on their own but the tomato-garlic sauce really added something to the dish. I made it exactly as is except I used Multi-Grain butter flavored crackers instead of regular because that's what I had.

This was great to add to our healthy meals! I didn't have anything to make the sauce with, so I just used store bought Spaghetti sauce. Next time I want to try a little more seasoning in the meatballs, just for personal preference. Thanks for the great recipe!

We did like it and I will definitley try it again. Like the others, I did not have V8, but subbed a can of tomato paste and thinned it out with the chicken broth. I'm not a huge fan of ground turkey, but did really enjoy it with this recipe.
