There are no strict rules for meatballs, as my 15 years of professional cooking experience at various magazine test kitchens and cooking for food photography shoots have showed me.

Meatballs, in essence, are just meat, seasonings and a binder. They can be mixed delicately or vigorously, made from a meat substitute, flavored with a variety of ingredients (herbs, spices, cheeses) and cooked any number of ways.

But while there’s no single formula, there are a few principles for ingredients and techniques that, once learned, will help you make better meatballs every time.

The three recipes below yield meatballs that are all quite different from one another, but each one holds important lessons. Make them all, and you may very well end up a meatball master.

1. Thank you so much for posting! I'm always looking for a good meatball recipe.

They all look tasty! I'm going to experiment on the family

So far our family favorites that I've found and make on repeat or freeze are:

Greek turkey meatballs (These are supposed to be burgers, but most of the time I'll make them as meatballs)

Easy Teriyaki Meatballs

For special occasions:
Meatballs in Marinara (American's test kitchen recipe, lots of ingredients including prosciutto and yogurt or buttermilk. Time consuming, but really good. I found someone had posted this recipe on Reddit when I was looking for the ATC Beef/Sausage Slow Cooker/microwave meatball recipe. I keep this one for special dinners when I want to impress someone.)
