Once you have a base recipe like this 20 Minute Meatball recipe, you can start to get creative with how you use them! You could make Pineapple Thai Meatballs, quick and easy meatball subs, or even turkey and feta meatballs (which has been one of the most viewed recipes on my website, to date.

I’ll be honest, I just kind of ate the first batch like finger snacks! Straight out of the fridge ? But, when you can have 20 minute meatballs staring at you in the fridge, it’s hard to resist!
