    I love this recipe. It's a great way to manage portion control! Very satisfying. Will definitely make this again. - 12/21/08

    Very good...controlled portions! I used ground meat substitute (frozen) and didn't add the Good Seasons. Maybe will try rolled oats instead of the breadcrumbs, for more fiber....lots of possibilities here! - 1/16/08

    My 19 yr old made these and we loved them, this mixture would be great as stuffed cabbage filling!! - 2/4/08

    I love these - although I would rather add a little less crushed red pepper. Love the addition of parmesan! I have overcooked them-still tastes great, but leaves a mess in the cupcake pan! Friend said she made them like big meatballs, and they kept their shape & no mess! DH loves this too! - 4/4/08

    I made these last night and they were incredible. My husband also loved them and packed the rest up for lunch today. I made a double batch and froze the rest of them, so I will be having these again very soon! - 1/17/08

    These are amazing! If they get to juicy as some of you had said just drain the juice off about 5 mins before they are done and they get nice and crispy. And don't be afarid to add the crushed red peppers it doesn't make them to hot at all! Leftovers? Slice them up for a yummy sandwich!!! - 7/25/09

    This did not work as a loaf. I had to cook an extra 30 min. Too much liquid. - 5/18/08

    So yummy! I made this tonight. substituted and the bread crumbs with a slice of wheat bread and didn't add the Good Seasons Italian dressing mix. not sure how that changes the calories. - 1/8/08

    These muffins were so good! I was able to eat 3 of them with a big serving of veggies and it was so satisfying. I will definitely be making these again! Thanks for the great recipe! - 1/8/08

    Stuck a little cube of pepperjack cheese in the center of each one. SO GOOD. - 9/17/11

    Very good! Spicy! I omitted the freshly chopped red peppers. They do initially come out of the oven with lots of juices from the turkey, but this soaks back in - you could use less tomato sauce if this is bothersome. Even better reheated! Tasty all the way around, even picky hubby liked them! - 4/22/09

    I may these tonight and thought they were delicious. I cut down a little on the tomato sauce and used some crushed red pepper/black pepper herb that I had. I thought at first there was a little too much fresh red pepper but changed my mind after 2nd one. HAHA Also used Parmasean/Ramano cheese. - 3/11/09

    This was very tasty for dinner and took left overs for an easy lunch. I di not put in any red pepper flakes because my husband does not do well with spicey foods. - 6/29/08

    I added a quarter slice of turkey bacon on top. Delicious and just 10 more calories - 4/10/12

    Did this for dinner last night These turned out great! Had no problems with too much moisture. Did add more pepper flakes, just because we like spicy food. My husband just grabbed 2 more for breakfast this morning. - 7/26/09

    I didn't think I'd like these....

    ...I love them! - 9/21/09
  • STARLINA
    I made these into 6 servings and added paprika, garlic powder, and italian seasonings. I substituted mozzarella for parmesan and omitted the italian mix. Great flavor and portioning but next time I will use half the tomato sauce, they were a little too moist. Great recipe, will make again! - 5/23/09
