A Recipe a Day- Turkey and Blue Cheese Meatballs

These meatballs actually sound pretty darn good.

I would make a few changes: I would use ground beef rather than ground turkey. I used to eat ground turkey all of the time in place of beef and I just never liked it as much as beef.

I would also use whole eggs instead of egg whites and would not add the soy sauce. The pepper called for sounds like a bit much, even though Matt would probably love it that way.

I would also add more bleu cheese since we just love it.

I think the soy sauce sounds weird... with blue cheese and Italian seasoning...? I'd stick with the turkey because I think when it's well seasoned, it's lots better than beef (and my digestive system handles it better) but other than that I agree with you 100%

Whu...whu...WHAT??? They looks like meatballs, but turkey and bleu cheese? I think I'll stick with what Mama Rosina makes. Now at's a spicy meata ball.

Ground beef does seem to have a better flavor.

We made a pot of turkey chili and to be honest, it was terrible. We didn't even try to eat it a second time. I pitched it after letting it sit in the frig a week. There must be a trick to using turkey that I don't know. I'd go with the ground beef instead.
