04 - Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.

# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The turkey meatballs stay incredibly juicy instead of drying out like everyone expects them to
- That moment when the sour cream hits the sauce and suddenly everything becomes velvety smooth
02 -
- The meatball mixture will feel soft and slightly sticky, which is exactly right, so resist adding more breadcrumbs
- Letting the sauce simmer too long after adding sour cream can cause separation, so add it right before serving
03 -
- Use a cookie scoop to get uniform meatballs that cook at the same rate
- Warm your sour cream slightly on the counter before adding it to prevent any shocking temperature differences
