I thought his pasticcio meatballs were the best - and now these! Great use of turkey elevated with pork (used TJ's sausage) and hours of braising; Interesting non-use of Italian herbs like basil, parsley (in the meatballs), and not even parmesan cheese. Try these...now.
Good real italian

I used steak instead of meatballs and added carrots b/c i needed to get rid of them, it was very good. It was like a stew. When I was done I took the meat out of the sauce and put the sauce into the blender to have sauce for the next night. Molto Bene!
spicy!!

I love Mario and I love spicy food, but these were just too spicy. I would reduce red pepper and fresh ground pepper. We did eat them, but with caution. My Italian boyfriend, who can normally eat twice as much was hesitant for seconds. The key would be to reduce - maybe even to a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon of both.
mmmmmm............Good!

Braised meatballs are more flavorful, evenly cooked, and more tender and juicy than the usual pan-fried variety and these are no exception. As turkey has very little fat, this recipe allows the meatballs to retain their juiciness and brings out exquisite and spicy flavors. A real treat worth the effort.
Too Hot to Eat!!!

This recipe calls for 1 Tablespoon of red pepper flakes in the meatballs, which I cut in half -- it seemed like alot, but the recipe calls for large amounts of seasoning so I thought the amount might be right. Despite my family's love of spicy food, this is the first time in my life I have had to throw out an entire dish because it was inedible. I don't know if the 1 Tbl. is a typo (I actually got the recipe from one of his cookbooks) or if he is using some other kind of red pepper flakes, but do not in any circumstances use that much -- maybe a couple pinches? I gave one star because I think the meatballs would be great properly seasoned so I am going to try them again.
