I can watch your YouTube videos for hours.<br /><br />What size disher did you use for the meatballs was going to be my question, and still sort of is for verification purposes. After typing up my initial long winded question about disher sizes, I re-watched the video and noticed that your disher handle was black. Assuming that your disher was made following the standard color scheme, my black handled size 30 disher should work just fine. If you used a different sized disher I'd love to know what size it is.<br /><br />And to Knight if you are still following this thread. I haven't read the whole thread, but in case no one else has answered this yet, here are my two cents.<br /><br />In my experience, you can use whatever ground meat that you want in recipes like this one with some considerations for the different meat types that must be accounted for. The biggest consideration that I can think of is fat content. The most readily available ground beef lean to fat ratios that I find are between 80-88% lean, with 90% and 92% lean easily available. Most of the ground chicken and turkey that I find is between 92-98% lean. The difference in fat alone, while seemingly small, has a big difference in how the meat cooks up and therefor tastes. Chef John says to use ground veal in the printed recipe, but mentions that ground pork can be used as well in the video. Veal adds to the fat flavor, as well as the texture of the meatball. Ground pork generally generally adds more fat flavors and less texture than veal, but is better with leaner meats like chicken, turkey, and ultra lean beaf. If I had to stay away from beef, I would use a combination of chicken/turkey and pork.<br /><br />Every winter I make up huge amounts of chili to feed a few hundred people. I use that same recipe each time, and only change the ground meat used depending on what's available for a reasonable price and preference. I've found that generally the beef chili is received better, but there are the few customers that won't eat beef, but will eat chicken or turkey. In general I find beef to have a better mouth feel. The lean chicken or turkey can easily have a mealy mouth feel to me.Baylihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401301029780121843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-1410039077686931762016-04-02T12:42:12.069-04:002016-04-02T12:42:12.069-04:00Could I substitute ground chicken and still get si...Could I substitute ground chicken and still get similar delicious results?

I'd recommend trying that. You may want to try cooking a little sample as John advises, Parmesan has a very very sharp flavor and if you are cutting it you might want to adjust your spice mix to get the desired flavor.
