        <content>I guess the Aidell empire is growing given their bacon and now meatballs.  I picked up a package of chicken/turkey and sundried tomato. Very tasty, light and loose like a meathball should be. I could see adding them to pasta...very complimentary but not a stand-alone thing (how they should be).  They'd make good horderves except for the price...$5.99 for 12oz., which gets you about 18. 

Ingredients: chicken, turkey, moistened sundried tomato, sodium lactate, garlic, sea salt, spices, basil, browned in vegetable oil.  

I'd buy them again but not on a regular basis. 3 out of 4 stars (+/-) seems about right...except for value. If they sold them at Costco in bulk and at a discounted price like their sausage...could  be a good party thing. They also come in Teriyaki and Chipotle.</content>

      <content>I haven't ever bought these, but I make meatballs all the time from my homemade turkey and sundried tomato sausage - recipe courtesy Bruce Aidell's Sausage Book. 

This time of year is great to take advantage of inexpensive turkeys in the supermarkets to make your own turkey sausage.  It can be a bit of a pain getting the meat off the bird, but those meatballs would be a lot cheaper!</content>

      <content>I also bought a pack of the teriyaki meatballs after a sample at Costco.  Surprising light and moist, great to use when whipping up a quick meal, I added them to a noodle soup for dinner tonight.</content>

      <content>Aidells also has a fantastic portobello mushroom sausage. I roast potatoes and onions and toss the sausage in for the last 15 - 20 minutes.  Super easy and incredibly flavorful.</content>
