Notes

Recipe Variations

Use frozen meatballs instead of homemade
Use ground chicken or beef in place of ground turkey
Add fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme
Add fresh minced garlic to the meatballs
Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup bbq sauce to the sauce for extra flavor
Omit the milk from the meatballs (I would recommend using a higher percentage ground turkey for moisture)
Use regular Italian breadcrumbs in place of panko crumbs
Substitute yellow or whole grain mustard for dijon mustard
Use maple syrup in place of honey
