FAQ:

Can I use ground turkey or chicken for these meatballs? Yes, you can use ground turkey or chicken. However, these leaner meats may require a bit more moisture, so consider adding a little extra milk or even some olive oil to keep them juicy.

How can I prevent my meatballs from becoming dry? The key to juicy meatballs is to use milk and breadcrumbs in the mixture, which help retain moisture. Don’t overcook them, and simmer them in sauce if you can to keep them moist.

Can I bake these meatballs instead of frying them? Yes! If you prefer baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the meatballs on a lined baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.

By following these simple steps, you can create meatballs that are tender, juicy, and full of flavor every time. Perfect for family dinners, parties, or meal prep!
