These turkey meatballs were a hit! So creamy and tasty.
I tried this recipe, but the sauce turned out too thick for my liking. Any tips?
Can you use chicken instead of turkey? Asking for friendz.
Yeah, you can use chicken instead of turkey! It’ll taste just as good, maybe even better if you ask me. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time a bit! 😉
