Even the 18 month old loved this! Like so many, I had no V8 juice. I subbed a mixture of Tomato paste, water and pasta sauce. I added a 3rd clove of garlic for personal preference. The meatballs themselves are a great basic, too! I'll use this recipe with a variety of sauces and gravies!

This was really easy to make. I need a quick meal with turkey and rice and this was good too. We are going to have it on our rotation. Thanks!

Didn't like it but made a few substitutions. Basil for parsley, egg for milk, pepper flakes for hot pepper sauce, bread crumbs for butter-flavored crackers, pasta sauce for v8 juice and garlic powder for garlic cloves. Perhaps I tried and got a little *too* creative.

Very good, very easy - a real keeper. All I added was 1/2 of an onion, grated very fine.

This is one of our favorites,I make it at least once a week or two weeks the most. I could never remember to get tomato juice so I use tomato sauce instead, yesterday I blended one can of stewed tomatoes to make up the amount, one of these days I will make it with tomato juice to see the difference.

Pretty good. I'd like it a little more if the sauce was thicker. I think next time I'll either add some stewed tomatoes to the sauce or go straight for spaghetti sauce.

I didn't have all the ingredients, so I subbed. They still turned out fantastic! I subbed soy milk for the milk, bread crumbs for crackers, regular pasta sauce for the V-8 and used dried parsley instead. I also added more 1/2t of cajun spice, a few extra dashes of Worch. sauce, extra hot sauce and used half the salt. Mine were the size of golf balls. For the first 20 min I cooked them on pie pans, after that I put them into a loaf pan for the depth so they could soak in the sauce. I checked every 5-10 min and moved them around. They browned awfully fast. I would lower the temp for this portion slightly. It took 15 min more than the suggested time to cook. Came out perfect, a hit with noodles. The leftovers went perfect for a pasta bake.

Very tasty! I had a pound of ground turkey to use up, so I doubled the ingredients. I was out of Worcestershire sauce, so I used soy sauce. I was also out of parsley, so I used dried basil. I highly reccomed using basil instead since it has much more flavor. I was able to make 8 meatballs with the pound of turkey. I wasn't able to use all of the sauce of the meatballs (it would have overflowed into the oven), so I spooned the excess over the brown rice that I made with it.
