I have made this recipe several times. I use siracha sauce in place of the chili sauce, but only about half what the recipe calls for. Whole egg and yes, I cut back on the chicken stock too. I always serve with mash potatoes, it needs the creamy to cut the hot savory! We love these.

I was very disappointed in this recipe. The meatballs were dry. I only cooked for four hours and the turkey just was a disappointment and the sauce was runny. I won't be making this recipe again.

Incredibly dry...turkey is far to lean for a recipe like this. The sauce is also pretty thin so adding corn starch at the end is helpful. I wouldn't make this again.

After reading other reviews that sauce was too thin, I reduced chicken broth by half (1 cup, not 2, and the sauce was not too watery. It's not bad tasting, maybe needs a little kick. I agree that meatballs need a crust, so next time, I might sear the outside before adding to the slow-cooker. Meatballs are too soft, but if you cook them longer, the insides become dry. Might try this again, with adjustments.

I questioned this recipe before I made it (so I can only blame myself. I wasn't sure how meatballs would work without frying or baking them to create a nice crust. These meatballs were horrible!! They were dry and tasteless. The sauce was far too bland. I was satisfied with it only after I added many more ingredients to make it palatable.

I found this to be very spicy, I was not happy with the whole thing. The meatballs were okay.

There's nothing sweet or sour about this recipe - the sauce just tasted like tomato sauce. I added more brown sugar to sweeten it and that helped, but it still wasn't good. I had mashed potatoes with it, as recommended, which makes no sense. Rice would be much better with something that's supposed to be sweet and sour. Won't make this again.

This looked great, so I decided to try. I rarely have failures at anything, but this was one of the worst things I have ever made. The sauce was too watery and tasteless, smelled terrible, the meatballs were very dry, I had to toss out all of it. Would not recommend this to anyone. I will note, the mashed potatoes did turn out great. Went wonderful with the beef roast I substituted for the family dinner..

These are amazing/addicting meatballs! I have made this recipe so many times and even made tiny cocktail-sized ones for christmas (A bit hit! The sauce is thin but I usually make about 3lbs(w/ more poultry seasoning worth of turkey and the extra meat tends to thicken the sauce a cooking on low for the 6-8 hours. Also don't use 99% lean turkey, this will make very dry meatballs, use only 93 or even 85. If you want more moisture and a little more fat, use the whole egg, not just the white.

Also, the extra sauce is good in everything! Try it on top of meatloaf!

made it a few times. I didn't stick to the recipe to the "T", but it still came out the way Robin said it would. Plan on making it again this week... :
