Meatballs are infinitely versatile; they can be filled with lots of vegetables (think chopped carrots and celery) and they can be dressed in different sauces. They can be made with ground chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, or veal (or even a combination). I hope these six meatball variations inspire you in the kitchen to reinvent this dinner staple. My basic recipe yields 35 1-inch balls.

Thanks so much for your feedback Chaya! Won't the flavor be compromised without the onions though?
I made it tonight with the original meatball recipe, no sauteed onions, and a bit of honey in addition to the soy sauce. Didn't notice much of a difference.
Amazing. Thanks Chaya! -
