Turkey-Ricotta Meatballs

We had these turkey meatballs last night for dinner, from the blog, Eating, Etc, and they were very good!  My whole family ate them up and wished there was more.  My 3-year old took more than his share; every chance he could, he swiped another one from the baking sheet they were on!  These were very simple to make, too.  I would suggest sauteeing them in a non-stick pan so they don't stick too badly.  We had these with Eating, Etc's homemade marinara sauce.
