These were really good. My six-year-old niece proclaimed them the best turkey meatballs ever. We didn't find them too spicy- they were fine. You could definitely taste the sausage but I'm not sure the prosciutto was entirely necessary.
The recipe makes a lot- 30 meatballs. I cooked what I needed and froze the rest (uncooked) on a cookie sheet and then placed the frozen meatballs in a Ziploc bag. They'll make an easy dinner another night.
I did not use store bought tomato sauce. I made the sauce that Ina uses for her Real Meatballs and Spaghetti from Barefoot Contessa Family Style.

This was very good. It was indeed a bit spicy. The Italian sausage, although only a 1/2 pound to 2 pounds ground turkey (I used ground chicken), was a dominate feature in the meatball mixture. It seemed to overpower the prosciutto, so think it would probably be just as good with lean bacon. I liked the addition of asiago cheese in the meatball mixture.
