These were fantastic dinner time treats! They went together fast and were tender, and full of flavor. I have seen a lot of comments on the sauce being to thin. The brand of tomatos you use can make a big difference, as some can be very watery and do not need extra water. Also, it helps if you avoid a non stick pan, they tend not to reduce sauces well. This is a tasty, versatile dish (serve it with rice, gnocchi, or pasta that comes together quick and is very satisfying to eat.

While I appreciate the simplicity of this recipe, the flavor of the meatball was completely lacking. The sauce was good, but as the previous reviews say, don't add all of the water the recipe calls for (I added a little tomato paste to kick up the tomato flavor and thicken the sauce a bit. I think this recipe has a lot of potential if the meatballs are kicked up a bit.

Amazing meatballs! Light and juicy, not something that comes to mind with turkey meatballs. I agree the sauce is thin, but I also added less water when I saw how much was called for and added a little more tomato sauce. The only other thing I changed was mincing the onions a little larger so there were little bits instead of mush in the meatball. Added a different texture.

Tasty. Healthy. Easy. What more could you want? I increased the tomatoes slightly (used additional fire-roasted diced, added about a 1/4 c. tomato paste... adjusted water as needed. Only rinsed the cans, and added that, and then added maybe total of 2 c, as the sauce simmered. Delicious at a seasonal cocktail party with an Italian there! Presto... :-

I thought these little tasty bits were delectable. I was so surprised at how light and juicy they were. My husband doesn't like turkey, so I didn't tell him that was what he was eating until he was finished and he was amazed at how delicious they were. So, great recipe. I served them over buttery egg noodles.

I love Nigella's food -- always flavorful, simple, and enjoyable. But this was awful. The sauce was watery and thin, lacked flavor, and was uninspiring. The meatballs were also fairly bland and, since they cooked by the steam of the sauce, also lacked an appetizing texture. I would not make this again.
