Veggie Meatballs (With Meat)

Grated vegetables in this recipe add extra moisture to the meatballs (similar to what ricotta would give), and make the meat tender. I only had half a jar of marinara sauce left when I made this, so I added bone broth to the jar and shook it up. Feel free to use a whole jar of sauce if you prefer.
