This looks like a great recipe for the family and something young children would like to eat. Jessica Alba told Martha that she lets her small child help with mixing and rolling the meatballs. I would caution anyone who wants to do this to be aware of a problem that could result. Small children may not wash their hands as well as they should after handling raw turkey, or raw ground beef. Be aware of E coli or salmonella contamination that could could cause serious illness in the child or adult.
